Visited Spain for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $95/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
