Take plenty of money because you are going to have sticker shock when you get the prices.

You can’t get this off of craigslist… the only way you can find an apartment in Barcelona is to GO THERE… and check with a local rental agent… it’s almost impossible to rent an apartment ANYWHERE from you home in the U.S. by the internet… you have to BE THERE to get one… and it doesn’t matter where “there” is.

I will highly recommend for you to travel to Barcelona first. Stay a few days at a cheap hotel that is centric, do not book it online (except your first night, of course), it cost less over there or less you are traveling on high season.

Once in Barcelona get “Los Clasificados” (the classified) from any local newspaper. Look for “Rento Piso” (apartment for rent) or you may also find someone that may want a roommate.

People are always willing to help in Spain. Get to know some locals (older folks) and they will show you the ropes. Get yourself a cell phone (Vodaphone or Orange), don’t use the public phones and do not connect a land-line phone they are very expensive.

You may find that some people will rent you a room, but if you are looking for privacy make sure you have lots of money, rent is not cheap at all or less you get lucky. There is always a friend who knows a friend in Spain.

Good Luck!
