Experience in Badajoz, Spain by Almudena

What do you think about living in Badajoz? Do you recommend it? How is it?

Badajoz seems like an interesting city to me where I would recommend to live in. I'd recommend it for several reasons, however, the most important thing especially for students is that it's a cheap city, you can use public transport to go to University and to travel around the city, renting prices are really affordable, and there are a lot of parties organised.
