These estimates vary greatly based on individual spending patterns and currency exchange rates. Use these estimates as a guide to create a budget for yourself for your stay in Barcelona. You can make a[ copy of our sample budget sheet.](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MFCGAJ2LVB-DDLCSWp3Uc76QNSUuIoyg/edit#gid=1206886025) 

- Frugal Francisco is a student who maximizes his experience in Barcelona by participating in program activities, finding free entertainment options, being creative with leisure activities, and eating out sparingly.
- Average Alexa also enjoys the program activities but also splurges on other experiences, eats out more frequently, and travels outside of Barcelona more often.
- Extravagant Elena is less mindful of her expenses and ends up spending significantly more during her time abroad, opting for premium options such as Starbucks over local cafes, traveling outside of Barcelona every weekend, and always taking taxis instead of public transportation.
