Has anyone been to Spain recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Barcelona — still the best area in Spain?
