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 a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Trying to decide between this and Thailand.
Cheers
Malaga — still the best area in Spain?

Quick question — how was the transport?

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
