2 of my friends also are leaving Buenos Aires. I would avoid major cities in Spain which will be expensive but food costs are probably cheaper in Malaga than BA these days. Expat party is ending.Expat party ended for me. I'm moving to Spain in a few months. I am here in Barcelona now. I didn't realize there was so much crime. I have watched 4 people get their purses stolen.. Amazing to see the amount of crime here! Makes me realize just how safe Buenos Aires is.
