A year ago was just the opposite, you could get 800 € with 600 $, so things were cheap for americans.

Now it has turned so that with 800 $ you only get 600 €, so things are a little more expensive for americans.

The thing is, that if the exchange rate was normal (say more or less 1 $ for 1 €) Spain is a 20 or 30% cheaper than the US. Our salaries are lower too. With a normal US salary you could live very well in Spain.

Of course, the best is to work for a US company in Spain as an expatriate, having a good exchange rate, and spending your dollars in Spain laugh That would make you "el rey del mambo" as we say here smile
