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
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Avoid Malaga? Or is it fine?

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.
