Personal comments
Coming from the US, things will seem very inexpensive. Be sure when you are exchanging currency that you bring your passport (most places won't exchange without one) and that you know their comission. You're better off using banks and exchanges away from Plaza Mayor, it can save you loads.

Travelling within Spain could be more expensive rather to travel abroad (eg. Travel from Madrid to Cordova by AVE -train- is more than 100 euros round trip. Travelling from Valladolid to Charleroi -flying- was 38 euros round trip).

Reading the "small letters" in the contracts. Spanish sometimes can´t get along with maths and errors may occur in their benefit.

Personal spending habits
The cost of living in Spain is lower than in the the United States. I purchased a cell phone while living there and spent just as much each month as I do in the United States. I do not travel as much, however, than I did when I lived abroad.

no chequebooks if u open a spanish bank account. also opening a spanish account is good idea if you'll be there longer than 3 months. drink before you go out at night - you save even more!

The cost of living in Spain is generallya lot cheaper than in England. You can save money on public transport with a 'bono bus' pass. Although walking is what most students use because Salamanca is so small.
