Returned from 9 days in Spain. Solid experience.

Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $38/night. Quiet area but close to the action.

Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were great value.

Quality:
Girls were friendly and attractive overall. Had 4 encounters total.

Logistics:
Rented a motorbike for flexibility. Food was cheap and delicious.

Safety:
Felt safe throughout.

Overall: 9/10. Solid choice, will be back.

Happy to answer any questions.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

This matches my experience. Spain is worth the trip.

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

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: avoid weekends.
