In Logroño, the main language spoken is Castellano. Castellano is another way of saying "traditional Spanish". The reason we specify is because there are many other official languages of Spain. Other languages spoken within the country are Catalan (from the Catalonia region), Gallego (from the region of Galicia) and Euskera (from the Basque region).
Spain uses euros (€) as its currency. The euro is the official currency in 21 out of 27 countries in the European Union, and after the U.S. dollar, it is the most heavily traded currency in the world! Like the U.S. dollar, one euro is made up of 100 cents. The euro system uses coins of values one ct., two ct., five ct., ten ct., 20ct., 50ct., as well as one euro and two euro coins. The aper cash consists of the values five €, ten €, 20€, 50€, 100€, 200€, and sometimes, 500€. The euro is 1.12 times the amount of the U.S. dollar, so it is worth slightly more. For example, something that costs five € would cost $5.60. This makes it very important for me to watch my spending!
