How much does it cost to live in Spain alone?
To live in Bilbao on a moderate budget, you'll need around $1,591/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($783), weekday lunches out ($519), weekend casual meals ($94), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($83), a monthly transit pass ($27), and a few taxi rides ($85). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Spain for two?
2 persons
$2,911
≈ €2,506

What does it cost to raise a family in Spain?
