Cheap food for student: Valencia, Spain?


Cheap food for student: Valencia, Spain?
I will be spending 6 weeks in a dorm (no fridge, stove, microwave, etc.) in Valencia, Spain and need some ideas for super cheap meals as I intend to spend all my dough on clothes, travel and wine. Any ideas where to go and what to eat. The cheaper (and healthier) the better. Any advice to save money will be helpful. (Entertainment, travel, souveniers, etc.)

is there a subway in spain????
2 :
Eat at the outdoor foodstalls whenever you can. Those are pretty cheap.
3 :
The Spanish people are very generous and friendly. Just get you a local friend or a boyfriend and they will probably invite you for dinner everyday.

With the price of Euro at US$1.55 pero Euro, I will recommend go to the small markets and go for items you can use to make sandwiches. The bread in Spain is fresh and tasty and cheese and ham should be inexpensive as well (and healthy). Fresh fruits are delicious and you can find them in any plaza. As far as souvenirs, I would go for cultural things like their music, books and art (paintings, sculptures, etc.) Have fun in Spain!
5 :
Check out the local markets. Share with a friend. Water, bread, cheese, yogurt, nuts,lots of fruits and vegetables. Ask the locals for their favorite places. Make your mid-day meal your biggest & add all the above throughout the day. If you have room in your suitcase, pack some granola bars. Just be sure to include some protein too. Go on-line to find out what there is to see. Ask your travel agent or AAA for suggestions. Go easy on souveniers. Instead take lots of pictures & send postcards.

Don't go to fastfood places cuz the expenses will rack up... Eat a kebab at least once a week, they will definitely fill you up... and then make friends from other countries, they're always nice!!!
7 :
Listen, those of us living here eat just the same way every day ourselves. Just go to a tapas bar and you can eat like a Queen for 3 Euros including a drink! They are on every street corner.

spain!! the foods better

if you know spanish, are adventurous and are into history, and roman-catholic buildings, cathedrals, etc, then spain. if you are into later history, museums, art, then you should go to england
3 :
I studied in Spain in college and LOVED it! It was the best education experience I have ever had. It was beautiful, with wonderful people and lots to see and do. It is a very ancient country with a rich history. England is a great country too. I have only been to London, but it has beautiful parks and great castles, art, and shopping. Ultimately, it is up to you. Spain will give you more of a Mediterranean experience, with a siesta, late nights, and warm weather. England will be colder and rainy. It is really your personal preference. What do you think you would like?
4 :
I would go to England. It is a great place to visit and travel around.

Work is hard to come by in Spain right now. You might get a job working in a bar, but that is long hours and very little pay. That won't pay for your accommodation. Whilst you are working way into the night everyone you serve will be out enjoying themselves. On top of that, you have to eat & sleep. Barcelona is expensive.

What's the turnaround time for 6mo student VISA to Spain via Miami Consulate?


What's the turnaround time for 6mo student VISA to Spain via Miami Consulate?
Short story: I'm applying for a 6-month student visa to live in Spain, and I am applying via the Spanish Embassy in Miami. Timing is crucial as I'm trying to make a class in Spain. I called the office and confirmed with two different people that I can get my papers/passport back in TWO WEEKS. If that remains true, I am fine. But I'm getting nervous and would like to hear from people who have gone through this same process recently. If you have applied for a 6-month student VISA for Spain via the Miami, Fla., consulate, how long did it take for you to get your papers/passport back? THANK YOU!

Maybe try asking this in the US Miami page. You might have more luck there.
