Well, if you plan to come to Spain, plan on spending a significant more of your US dollars! The US dollar is going to hell in a hand basket, having lost over 50% of its value in the last 6-7 years. When I came over here (Spain) in 2001, it cost only 88 cents to buy one Euro. Now, it will cost you $1.50 for one Euro. And projected to get worse. Beware, and plan carefully!
