Spanish is the primary language here, with English as a secondary language. People also speak Catalan, especially in Barcelona, a city on Spain's northeastern coast. In addition, there are immigrants from countries around the world who speak their native languages, too.
Spain uses the euro (€). This currency is used across many countries in the European Union, a group of 27 European countries that work together politically and economically. The euro is a colorful currency compared to U.S. dollars, which are all green.
A bottle of water can vary in price depending on the seller's location. It is typically €1, but can go up to €4 in tourist areas. Currently, the value of a euro is very similar to that of the U.S. dollar, with €1 worth $1.17.
My best meal this week was Chinese bao buns from Huang’s Bao. This restaurant near my apartment serves buns similar to bready dumplings.
