How much does it cost to live in Spain alone?

That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($541), weekday lunches out ($472), weekend casual meals ($85), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($65), a monthly transit pass ($28), and a few taxi rides ($61). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Spain for two?
2 persons
$2,208
≈ €1,973
If there are two of you, plan on around $2,208 ≈ €1,973/month — a proper apartment ($785), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Spain?
