      @@Srcccfy I can understand that many American of US think only in US salary VS Spain (or another country) salary and nothing more. But they don´t understand (because don´t think a little) that in Spain (and another countries too) the cost of life is adapted to the salary.
      In the end, the level of the life quality in Spain, in general, is more high that in the US, even with the low salaries and it can be to enjoy more. Because the Estate invest much more money to cover the basic needs to their citizen. While in the US every citizen must cover itself from their own pokets and in the end all of these things cost much more.
      The US people must change the chip of their mind from pure money or only pure profit material like in the US culture when they go out of their country, to balance between money profit and enjoy the life with human quality, because in many other countries the mentality is very different.
      What sense have gain a lot of money, but then can´t be enjoy it because they haven´t enough time? What sense have it? It have sense when for an inmigrant who want to gain all he/she can for then go back to his/her country to make a business or another thing for example. But to the US people who must to pay the very expensive taxes, private healthcare and many other costs for theirself and their families too? They gain much more money that a Spanish people, yes, but... How many money have at the final month? Can they regularly go to a bar, restaurant, etc to eat, drink more than one day in the week? Then... Who is more rich and can enjoy the life in the end?
      All US people would must ask theirself what prefere, more salary but without time to enjoy it or less salary but with a very high life quality and time to enjoy it. How their think would are more happy in one very oppresive country or in one much less oppresive as humans. Less labor rights or much more labor rights.
      I hope it understand.

    Ramon Bilbao is an excellent wine, one of the best in quality/price ratio, it is the type that we Spaniards usually drink at lunch or dinner away from home, as long as it is not an occasion that deserves something better, however, any wine loses A lot if you drink it directly from the bottle, when serving the wine it is oxygenated. You have good taste in wine.

    Hay there Antoanetta 😉,
    I must say you've in a more or less funny way accomplished a fully fletched let's say 8 hour survival day on a low budget just to example some Lifeline possibilities which I admire cause people exist in all walks of Life. You show it can be done nd anyone fills in according to their own Lifestyle. When it comes to presenting food eating outside one thing I learned of importance it past is that Spain handles different prices upon preference of sitting fi at the bar which is the least expensive amount , a table inside of your choosing which costs the average middle nd a table outside at the terrace which you pay the most. Also a consideration by thinking about budgetting 😉. Thank you for informing nd inspiring us , it's sure a challenge worth trying out even just for laughs 😄.
    For the next year a one on one would be interesting nd I'm also thinking about purchasing your Valencia guide 😉.
    Talk to you later , sweet greetz from BE 🇧🇪✋😉

    I'm living in Coimbra in Portugal for nearly two years now, (not Lisbon nor Porto) for far less. Of course, you can indulge eating outside for 15 Euros, this way your number is good. My accommodation is a premium T1 Airbnb, with a huge discount for a year's contract. I buy things and equipment, because I'm relocating from Argentina. My total expenses are about 1300 Euros a month, but money is not my problem, may be because I watch it. Of course in Estoril it would be far more money, and the Numbeo QOL index (in the internet) for this city is way lower than for Coimbra, but better than Lisbon (185 Coimbra vs 169, and substandard 150 in expensive Lisbon) This QOL index for Valencia is really superb, 197 points.
