Current pricing for Spain:
Short Time: Budget $51-91, Mid $60-185, Premium $290+
Long Time/Overnight: $124-305
Massage with extras: $42-144
These are approximate ranges as of early 2026. Prices vary by area, provider quality, and negotiation. Tourist areas tend to be more expensive.
Tipping is optional but earns you better service.
Best value: early evening before the rush.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
