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.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers
Madrid — still the best area in Spain?

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

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

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