Planning my first trip to Spain. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to the Philippines?
5. Uber or taxi?
Coming from the US with experience in a few different countries but first time in Spain.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Did you use an agency or find girls at clubs?

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
