Here are two websites that are very helpful in comparing costs and general cost information about various cities around the world including Spain. For expatistan I like to use my home in the US for comparison and also compare cities in the country I am considering.

I am assuming that you already have a visa as you can only stay legally within Spain for 3 months?/90 days each year.

Actually, you can stay 90 days in each 6 months, with 90 days in between.

Hi gvb,
I'm not trying to hijack this thread but from everything I've read (two websites), it says that you must not go over the 90 days of visiting within the 180 day period. It doesn't say that you must stay away for 90 days when you leave.

Of course, if you stay a continuous 90 days, then you are right. You must leave for at least 90 days.

My two euro cents...
I don't believe

Yes, I meant if you stay 90 days in a row.
