I live here 7 months a year and go home to UK November to end March basically when the clocks change as I find the long evenings/nights too long. I have £350 a month sent out from UK and find that adequate to live on. I don't pay rent but I do run a large car (Ford Focus 1.9) I live alone and have TV, telephone and internet at €50+/month. I usually go home once during those 7 months but find my Euros build up once I'm in the UK but obviously have to pay community fees (nearly €100/month) electricity and water whilst I'm gone. I usually bring €500 with me when I return just incase I have any emergencies so if I upped my monthly payment to £500 I would have more than enough so €1000 would be ample for 2 people I would think.
PS I do not live in a cheap part of Spain but right on the coast with a beatiful sea view
