I'm back!!

Well I finally got a formal offer to take a job in Madrid. Now the negotiation over pay begins. Since I won't be eligible for health insurance I need to pay that on my own. Can someone help me determine a decent Spanish wage. I want to be able to live comfortably and be able to travel back to the US and through Europe at least twice a year. I'm not a big spender but I do eat out a lot. I've also got to pay rent of course and it would be in a comfortable 2 bedroom. I would be doing graphic artist work. Any help would be appreciated.
