Bilbao: The most expensive city in Spain

Contrary to popular belief, the most expensive city with regards to renting a room in a homestay, is Bilbao and not in fact the capital, Madrid. With the Basque region being the most expensive in Spain, one could expect to pay around €410 a month for a room in Bilbao. With regards to renting a room in Madrid and Barcelona, one could expect to pay €361 and €384 respectively.

With that said, the homestay renting scheme is a lot cheaper than traditional renting. This type of renting allows you to save money and is highly recommended for students also. You might want to consider an accommodation in exchange for work for an even more cost-effective solution to your housing needs.
