Interestingly enough, I have a friend of Ecuadorian descent who at 5 foot 6 inches apparently did very well in Spain. He was teaching English at the time. Kid is packed with game of all sorts though as he has a history of solid notches back at home in North Texas as well where we live. I think Spanish chicks are very outgoing no matter your ethnicity (maybe except Barcelona lol) as long as your Spanish is decent enough.
Are you doing a workshop study abroad through a language institution or through an American university? With the right social circles, you could do very well in BA opposed to some guy rolling through there for 3-4 days...much cheaper than anywhere in Spain now too.
The one benefit of going to Spain is your travel options to different cities/countries via Easyjet or RyanAir.
The funny thing is that I am 5'6 myself. If I was to choose BA I would be studying at an American university (Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Buenos Aires). If I was to go to Spain, it would be in Madrid to an American university also, cannot think of the name off the top of my head. Thanks for the insight.
