Hello everybody!

Would be very interesting to know what the current cost of living in Salinas (or any other relatively large coastal city for that matter) is.

 Accommodation prices:
聲 Rent - per month for a newer 1 bedroom furnished apartment or condo in a 聯good聰 location (going to rent for about 6 months before buying).
聲 Purchase - for a newer 1 bedroom furnished condo in a 聯good聰 location.

 Public transportation fares (taxi, bus)

 Groceries (per month, how much does it cost for a single person, nothing extravagant, including meats, vegetables, fruits)

 Health prices (medical insurance, GP visits, lab services)

 Energy prices (electricity, natural gas)

 Common bills (High-speed Internet, cable/sat TV, telephone, tap water, garbage removal)

 Prices of a day-to-day menu in a traditional restaurant

 Miscellaneous

 How would you estimate the current rate of inflation in Ecuador?

Please do not hesitate to add items to this list!

Thanks in advance for your participation!!

P.S. Do I understand correctly one should not drink tap water in Salinas?
