Returned from 7 days in Spain. Great trip overall.
Accommodation:
Serviced apartment near the main area. $66/night. Walking distance to everything.
Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were slightly higher than expected.
Quality:
Better selection than last time. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 7.5/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.
