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.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers
Marbella — still the best area in Spain?

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

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
