Information on available scholarships.

The cost of living in Spain is comparable to the rest of Western Europe. Alcohol and tobacco are still almost half the price of other European countries and fresh fruit and vegetables are generally cheaper, as are meat, fish and poultry but clothes, shoes and electrical goods are slightly more expensive. The cost depends mostly on whether you buy imported or locally produced goods. Generally you should expect to budget for everyday living costs on the same basis as in other EURO countries.But you have to take in count, that Barcelona is the 56th most expensive city in the world, so you need to be careful where and how you spend your money.
