Cheap Spain for language students: Study tips<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you want to scrape some money off the cost of your language studies in Spain<\/strong>, it’s possible! The main way to save money on your studies is to choose to study in a less populated Spanish city. Cities like Madrid and Barcelona are busy with thousands of people vying for the same apartments and spots in schools, so they’re more expensive! <\/span><\/p>\n

You won’t sacrifice any of the beauty or culture by choosing a cheaper city like Seville.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Spain’s cost of living<\/a> is comparably lower in cities like Valencia, Seville, or Salamanca. In the cheapest cities to study in Spain,<\/a> you can get by on 700\u20ac-900\u20ac per month. In bigger cities, you’ll need closer to 800\u20ac-1000\u20ac (and maybe even more).<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheapest living arrangements in Spain<\/span><\/h3>\n

By choosing a less popular tourist destination to study in Spain<\/strong>, you’ll also reap the benefits of cheaper housing. However, the rental housing market doesn’t differ greatly across the country. It’s generally true that the cheapest option for student accommodations is a shared room in a shared flat. In smaller cities like Seville and Cadiz, you can find a shared room for 200\u20ac-300\u20ac. Private rooms in shared apartments have a similar price range, so you can usually get the next best option for around the same price!<\/span><\/p>\n

Taking on the burden of apartment searching can yield you even cheaper results, though this option comes with a warning. If you end up in a bad flat, the Spanish school you’re attending won’t have any obligation to help if you went it alone. Stick to our tips for finding a flat in Spain<\/a> so you don’t end up high and dry.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find the city bike stations in your city and you’ll be getting around faster (and cheaper) than ever.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

– Nearly every Spanish city has a city bike rental service. Check out the price of a subscription and weigh it against the cost of taking the metro every day. It’s often much cheaper to bike everywhere!<\/span><\/p>\n

– Depending on the length of your stay in Spain, it may be cheaper to get a Spanish SIM card<\/a>. Paying for international service can be costly, while getting a cheap SIM card and pay-as-you-go plan can be as cheap as 10\u20ac a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

– If possible, try to visit Spain outside of the high tourist season. In the summer months, prices around every city center start to climb until the tourists go home.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Always check out “menu del dia” deals at restaurants. It’s a cheap way to get a three-course meal and it’s often just as good as a-la-carte dishes!<\/span><\/p>\n
