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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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