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 decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Is Spain still worth visiting in 2026?

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

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.
