- What did it cost us to live in Seville, Spain for a month? Did we find it to be an expensive location? Or was it reasonable for all it had to offer? In this video, we break down the cost of living for a couple in the Seville Triana District.
As we travel around the world we are in search of a place we can see ourselves spending extended periods of time. Each place we travel to we evaluate the breakdown of costs to see if that will fit into our budget travel lifestyle.
In each location we cover some of the key costs you may also have:
Rent (Airbnb)

Hi BnC. Great wrap up of Seville. Thanks for all the good Info. Now that the 90 day Schengen duration is used up where next? Perhaps some non Schengen Eastern European country may be. Looking forward to the next episodes. Have a Great Holidays, Merry Christmas and a Happy and a Travel filled New Year
Thank you! We had 2 days left in the Schengen so we decided to make one last stop before flying out. We are excited about where we are now! Stay tuned on where that is. :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!!
Cheers!!!
Great Video and the timing for us is perfect. We are headed to Sevilla in March! Thanks
Sevilla in March should be fantastic! The weather will be perfect and hopefully, the gardens at Alcazar Palace are in full bloom. Safe travels.
Live your dream, cheers!!! 🍻
Once again, great video you guys! My wife and I are planning on retiring to Spain in five (or six) years and Sevilla is at the top of our list. Can’t wait to see all your adventures!
Hey Samuel! Thank you!! We had the 5 year plan as well and decided to just go for it now! We absolutely loved Sevilla and Spain in general. We want to explore more of the Southern coast sometime in the next couple years. Thanks again Samuel!
Cheers!!!
Thank you again for the information you give! It’s very helpful, and my husband and I like the way you guys talk in a natural, genuine way. Please tell us where your next adventure will take place!
Thank you Elsa! We are really enjoying what we are doing and hopefully getting better :) We are off to a non Schengen country! We will have a short video out early next week that will give up our location so stay tuned and thank you for the support!
Cheers!!!
You guys are very enjoyable to watch. I am coming to Seville next week. Just subscribed~
Thank you so much, we really appreciate your support! We absolutely loved Seville, enjoy!
Cheers!!!🍻
Love your details. I am coming to Spain for the summer and it is good to know for planning purposes what to expect.
We loved Sevilla! Alicante was great because of the beaches but Sevilla is a bucket list location.
We are also a couple who have decided to reduce our belongings into suitcases and travel the world. Seville is the beginning of our slow travel in May. Thank you for your videos! They are helpful in a practical sense and also encouraging for us!
That's is awesome! Seville is a great place to start. We really enjoyed the history and everything it had to offer. Spring should be really nice there as well. Good luck and safe travels!
Cheers 🍻
You guys are such a lovely couple. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! 😊 And thank you for watching!
Cheers!!!🍻
Love it!
Love your videos guys !! I have a question : while staying in Seville for a month, did you go on day trips for example to Cadiz, Cordoba or any other closer town ?
Hi Nelly, thank you so much. We had family visit us in Sevilla so we did not have the opportunity. We had planned to go to Cordoba or Cadiz but it just didn't work out. Our Airbnb host said that if we were going on a day trip that Cardiz would be the place to go. We are excited that you get to explore Sevilla and the rest of the area for a month. Looking back it was the best month of our three in Spain. Safe travels.
Cheers!!!🍻
Very informative. You guys look like you just jumped off the top of a wedding cake! It's a good thing. I lived in Sevilla in the 1970s and I'm afraid to go back because I might be sorely disappointed. Those were seemingly ancient times, relatively speaking - pre-Internet, when you had to make an appointment to make a long-distance call and letters were written on flimsy aero-gramas. And Franco had just plotzed, so it was a remarkable era of releasing pent-up anxiety and exploring new-found freedom. And the first democratic elections in over 40 years. It was a phenomenal experience. Glad you're having fun in Sevilla. Keep up the stellar work!
HAHA!! Thank you Harold. We really enjoyed our time in Sevilla. The history is just amazing, the people are friendly and the food was great. We could have stayed longer. You should get back sometime soon. It has most likely changed but it's such a wonderful place.
Thank you for the more recent history. I fined it very interesting.
Cheers!!!
A kindred soul. I studied in Madrid in 1975-76, and Franco died that year. It was surreal with the guardia civil on every corner with their machine guns pointed, but at the same time it was a very genteel time of classic Spanish life with old men in boinas dando un paseo with their esposas in their Sunday best. We bought post cards at the tabacalera kiosk and aerograms and mailed them at the beautiful Palacio de Cibeles, which was the main post office at the time. Life was so different then. As young college girls we could walk through the Retiro Park at midnight and not be afraid, we lived in a residencia with a duena because young unmarried Spanish women weren't allowed to live alone, young Spanish men would wolf whistle at us from across the Gran Via (seriously loud whistles!), but everyone felt safe. I returned in 1978-79 and again in 1985-86 to live and teach English and not too much had changed. I have visited a few times since then and have a dream of retiring in Spain. In my opinion, it's always worth returning even if you have to look a little harder for the old Spain you remember and loved. It's still there, I assure you:-)
Karen, thank you for this. We really enjoyed reading it. Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year!
Cheers!!!
@@karenjohnson6667 ¡Muy buenas! Kindred souls, indeed. I studied at the Universidad de Sevilla (la fábrica de tabacos) in 1976-1977, and it was both fascinating and surreal. The sense of freedom following the death of el caudillo was palpable: students riding in cars sporting huge Spanish and Andalucia flags; fiestas at the facultad; music everywhere - a palpable sense that a pall had been lifted. Madrid was wonderful then as well; l'm sure much the same reaction to the lifting of a Fascist regime. Spain suffered mightily for 36 years. Remarkable time to be there. My spouse also studied there at the time. Her father was Basque, so she has primos in the Paîs Vasco. We will return soon. Love to hear more about your experiences in España. If you're inclined, I'm at hbclark3@gmailcom. Thanks for your erudite observations. ¡Buenas suerte y que todo lo pase bien!
I started watching you recently. Your videos are interesting. I just want you to add to the cost side other aspects, even if you don't use or buy them. For example, how much would a monthly subscription to a means of transportation cost. Or how much would a ticket to a football game cost? And so on...That can be useful!
All the best
Thank you! That's actually a really great idea. We have our cost video on Santorini coming out next week. We are learning this as we go so any ideas are welcome. Thank you for watching!!!
Cheers!!!🍻
In Europe, milk is not refrigerated because it is sterilized at high temperatures with the UHT method, and, unopened, it is perfectly drinkable for up to three months, and once opened, a few days in the refrigerator. On the other hand, the standard unit of Liquid measurement is one liter or two liters.
Loving your videos Just to point out regarding milk it depends on the type of milk they are selling I often get my milk from refridgerators. All down to the milk. 🙂
great 👌
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Cheers 🍻
Hi guys, do you have the link of the health insurance you mentioned in this video ? I appreciated. Thank you !
Hi Elizabeth. Here is the link...

Cheers!!🍻
You can buy fresh milk. Us Brits living in Spain can't live without this. So anywhere where there are lots of Brits you will find milk. Also Lidl and Aldi supermarkets.
Thank you for the info Helen! We love when our viewers contribute to the channel like this. Keep it coming!!!
Cheers!!!
Hi Brian and Carrie
I look forward to your annual round up. Are you retired or do have your own business stateside and taking a year out, how are you funding this exercise, which I have found very useful
Hi, John! We are funding our travels with our savings and trying to supplement it with this CZcams channel!😆 So please, keep watching!!
Cheers!!!🍻
Sevilla es mucha sevilla.por muy temprano que te levantes😃
Very true!! We spent a month in Seville and still didn't get to see everything! Beautiful city! Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
Cheers!!🍻
I like the real miscellaneous costs, even if you had to buy a coat. We had an Airbnb type rental in Bayeux, France also did not have a coffee maker. I found a hotel that served an American breakfast for my americano in the morning.
Hi Susan, we mention other expenses, like the coats, because we did have extra costs. However we are trying to let viewers know what there approximate costs would be if they were to go to that location. Hopefully they pack accordingly 😉
Our new airbnb is fantastic and it still doesn't have a coffee pot. Go figure 🤔
Cheers 🍻
Help!!! I am planning a one-month stay in Seville right now and the cost for an apartment is $3900 Canadian. Would you mind sharing where you stayed????
Hi! we stayed at this Airbnb: air.tl/WWxywNDc
Hello guys!
How well did you all get around as far as language goes? Are you fluent in Spanish? Thanks!
We ARE NOT fluent in Spanish, unfortunately, we speak very little. We have had no problems with language in all our travels to this point. English is widely spoken. Now, we are leaving for SE Asia so things will change.
Cheers!!🍻
The low cost of living amazes me. Would you do a video on how you met?
HA!! Carrie walked up to me at a beer garden and introduced herself!!! True story!! 😆🍻
@@BrianandCarrie Was it? want to listen to Carrie side story :)
Hi Aiwu - Yes, Brian is telling the true story. I did walk up and introduce myself and that's where it all started :)
How much data as in how many gb did u get for $10 a mon
Hi Hassan, you get 10 GB for 10 Eruo. You can get 65 GB for 20 Euro if you need more.
Cheers!!!
Do pay to enter alcazar and cathedral
Yes, we cover the cost in one of the videos. It could be "Top things to do in Seville" video.
So far how do u rate ur overall experience outside of the US?
Hi Devin!!! We are having a great experience. Finding it much more relaxing. Not just for us but in general. It's just a slower pace of life then the US.
Cheers!!!
Very true, I do believe that life here in Spain is much more relaxed, not in a hurry to be somewhere. We have really enjoyed the slower pace at restaurants, train stations, grocery stores, just every day activities. It's refreshing to see.
Cheers!!!
🇪🇸❌🇪🇸👏
Thanks Mario!
Cheers!!!
