Returned from 12 days in Spain. Mixed feelings but mostly positive.

Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $76/night. Clean and central.

Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were slightly higher than expected.

Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 3 encounters total.

Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Food was cheap and delicious.

Safety:
Stick to main areas at night and you are fine.

Overall: 7/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.

Happy to answer any questions.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.

This matches my experience. Spain is underrated.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.
