That day we said: “Good Bye Peseta” and then we said

“Welcome euro”.

We were happy because we had the same currency as other powerful countries like France, Germany or

England.

But it wasn’t easy. It was as when you travel abroad and you must calculate the price of things. The change was: 1

€ 166,386 Ptas.

Six years later, many Spaniards are still calculating the price of things in

Pesetas.

The negative part is that the prices have risen too much. Some things

that before cost 100 Ptas, now cost 1 € (166,386 Ptas)...

...but the salaries have not risen

But not everything is negative, you can now travel throughout the

European Union without changing the currency
