Cheap food for student: Valencia, Spain?

Question

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.)

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Eat at the outdoor foodstalls whenever you can. Those are pretty cheap.

Answer 3

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!!!

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

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!

Answer 6

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.
