Hi. I am going to Spain for spring break as part of an extra benefit of one of the scholarships I recieved. The airfare and hotel will be paid for. I am just concerned about how much money I should be prepared to spend over there for food or if I decide to do some shopping. Are things more expensive over there? What about the current exchange rate for the american dollar and the euro? Thanks for your feedback.
