You might try to enroll on an university degree, like bachelor or master. In many universities of Europe is free or like 200€ per year/semester. Then you can apply to accommodation aids and even other kind of aids for food etc.

Start a new life from zero, learning a job, also working (there are student jobs and also the traditional jobs). Luxembourg (where I'am right now) is pretty good for that, there are plenty of opportunities, you'll also be fine only speaking english. Learning languages here is also almost free.

Try to look something like that. Other interesting cities for that are Maastricht (netherlands) or maybe in Germany. Good luck.

At least in Spain you can ask to be in the Robinson list and then, no company can call you for advertisements or offers unless you're a client of them. AND, in Spain is against the data protection law to do marketing calls from mobile phones if you're not their client. So they can get into trouble if they do.

You can always set you're phone to ignore calls, but this doesn't avoid the call to reach your phone. However, the robinson list does.

And the naval museum. It's really amazing and not so famous. It's 175 old and has the map of Juan de la Cosa, the earliest preserved map of the Americas. And since 2007 the museum has hosted a specimen of moon rock from the Apollo 17 mission.
Better to pay the workers. It's an absolute shame that Amazon it's making so much money and treating their workers like shit.

> Unions who represent Amazon workers have characterized its work conditions as “draconian” and physically demanding to the point of causing injury. Francisco Hervias, a worker who protested on Black Friday in Madrid last month, said at the time that he nearly lost his hand on the job.

Look at the University of Luxembourg, the best salaries in Europe, good conditions and it's a good point to travel around Europe for conferences. They do a lot of biology and CS. The LCSB is focused on parkinson and other stuff. They have good resources to send you to conferences or courses.
