Planning my first trip to Spain and wanted the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Safety concerns
4. Quality compared to Germany?
Any recent reports appreciated. Thanks.

First time there was a learning experience. Second time I knew the ropes and it was like a completely different trip. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

Good info. I'd add that early evening is the best time to go.

Interesting but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget.
