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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Avoid Barcelona? Or is it fine?

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