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 last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

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

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

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
