Expert advice needed for Spain

Well, even though I'm not from Spain, I fully understand the experience of living abroad. When I relocated to Chile for my job, figuring out how to manage everyday costs was very important. In Barcelona, it is a good idea to begin by visiting neighborhood markets to buy food because they often cost less than large grocery stores. Regarding a place to stay, search for apartments with shared living spaces or rooms near the University of Barcelona. Web pages such as Idealista or Spotahome can be useful for that purpose. To travel within the city, Barcelona offers a reliable public transport network including buses, metro trains and tram services. A T-10 ticket could be the most suitable option for your everyday travel. When it is about dining outside, there are many budget-friendly places near the university zone, particularly if you go to the nearby tapas bars. Enjoy your time in Barcelona—it's a vibrant city with so much to offer!

No problem! Glad you found those articles and videos helpful. Certainly, understanding NLE could seem complex at first if it's new to you; however, with some practice, it becomes manageable. For daily travel, Renfe regional trains are quite dependable and for journeys that take more time the ALFA or Flix buses can be very helpful.
