Living in Spain

Question

Hi,

Spain. I have never actually been to Spain nor visited and I don't know that much about this country, just general things as everyone.
Have you ever been to Spain? Have you lived there? Did you like it? Did you enjoy it? What can you tell about this country? What about Barcelona? Or other cities at the sea? What about climate? What about living there? What about internet connection, public transportation or health system? Do you think there is a quiet, not so touristic place in order to live in peace there?

Andreandi · Accepted Answer

I haven't been to Spain, but I have been to Italy, Greece and Istambul (Turkey).
Where do you live? I live in Hungary.

Hey Audray!

There is nothing to be scared about coming to Spain.

I don't really support some stereotypes people have about Spanish people (siesta, fiesta, lazy people, etc.), but I am not going to deny people don't take siestas or they don't love fiestas. There are lazy people everywhere...

I can only speak about the north of Spain, the Basque Country, which is where I am from. With the crisis the differences between the north and the south have increased, and one of the problems we have is that the North works hard while the South just takes it easy; which makes living in the North more expensive than living in the south.

Climate in the north is not as good as in the south, though. We have cold, rainy and windy Winters and Autumns. And Summer just resists to come in time most of the years, but we have beautiful landscapes and really good food.

Public transportation is good too, if you are planning to travel inside Spain I'd recommend you travel by train (renfe).
In the Basque Country we have our own health system, but you can use your European card in any hospital.
