This is the land of the siesta. It&#8217;s a place for foodies, night owls, history buffs, religious pilgrims, and anyone not in a rush to do just about anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a huge country with a lot of variety: Madrid and Barcelona are hip and energetic cities, Granada has a Moorish touch, Valencia has its own vibe, Catalonia has its own language and culture, and the Basque region (an autonomous community in northern Spain) feels like you&#8217;re in an entirely different country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, as an added bonus, Spain is an incredibly affordable place to visit. I&#8217;ve been traveling to the country for over a decade and I never break the bank while I&#8217;m there. It&#8217;s really easy to get by on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This budget travel guide to Spain can help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your time in this vibrant country.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5285_f30a98-98 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5285_f30a98-98 > .kt-row-column-wrap) >

Spain<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/spainguide2.jpg\" alt=\"The massive historic palace in Seville, Spain\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Enjoy Barcelona<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/spain-travel-tips\/barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Barcelona<\/a> is famous for its all-hours partying, late-night meals, and historic streets. Embrace the nocturnal lifestyle and you&#8217;ll fit right in. Don&#8217;t miss the Museu d\u2019Hist\u00f2ria de la Ciutat \u2014 it&#8217;s one of the best in Europe and contains the largest Roman excavation outside of Rome itself. Other highlights include the Picasso Museum (Museo Picasso), where you\u2019ll need some time to peruse 5,000 or so of the artist\u2019s works; the towering and iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/barcelona-l45\/sagrada-familia-priority-access-guided-tour-with-ticket-t288805\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=TTDSpain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Basilica De La Sagrada Fam\u00edlia<\/a>, one of a number of striking buildings across the city by famous architect Antoni Gaud\u00ed; Barri G\u00f2tic (the Gothic Quarter), where winding streets create a welcome maze built for wandering; and finding your way through the actual labyrinth that is the city\u2019s oldest green space, Parc del Laberint d\u2019Horta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Explore the history of Granada<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/spain-travel-tips\/granada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Granada<\/a> is one of my favorite cities in Spain. It\u2019s a place where culture, architecture, and ideas from North Africa and Europe collide in a unique way, and no trip to the south of Spain is complete without a visit. Don&#8217;t miss the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage Moorish palace and fortress built in the 13th century, and the Fajalauza ceramic factory, which dates back to 1517 and still remains in the same family. There are also a number of cathedrals and monasteries, including the peaceful Monastery of San Jeronimo, with leafy cloisters and a lavish chapel (5 EUR). Be sure to watch a flamenco show while you&#8217;re here (they&#8217;re usually around 20 EUR) and visit a Moorish tearoom for mint tea (locals recommend it with plenty of sugar).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wander Madrid<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/spain-travel-tips\/madrid\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Madrid<\/a>, the capital of Spain, is famous for its museums, tapas, and nightlife. Like Barcelona, this is a city that doesn\u2019t get going until midnight, which makes for quiet mornings with empty streets if you want the city all to yourself. Make sure you visit Museo Del Prado, one of the largest art museums in the world (get skip-the-line tickets from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/madrid-l46\/madrid-s-prado-museum-expert-guided-tour-with-skip-the-line-t131916\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=TTDSpain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Your Guide<\/a>), and the Royal Palace \u2014 with nearly 3,500 rooms, it\u2019s the largest palace in all of Western Europe. Other highlights include the Temple of Debod (an Egyptian temple from the 2nd century BCE), El Retiro Park (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the 15th-century Plaza Mayor, the city\u2019s central square, and El Rastro market every Sunday \u2014 a mix of flea market finds, clothing, and jewelry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Revel in La Tomatina<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/the-flying-tomatoes-of-la-tomatina\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Tomatina<\/a> is an epic hour-long tomato fight that draws upwards of 20,000 people to the small town of Bu\u00f1ol (only 9,000 people live in the town itself). Started in 1945, this festival is held on the last Wednesday of August, and over 360,000 pounds of tomatoes are thrown during the event. It starts when water cannons fire, and it ends after exactly one hour. It\u2019s the most amazing and messy festival I\u2019ve ever been to! (Tip: Stay in Valencia for more overnight options.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Discover Seville<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/spain-travel-tips\/seville\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seville<\/a> is an amazing city with gorgeous churches and historic palaces, and is the largest city in the autonomous area of Andalusia. I really liked the Jewish Quarter here (known as Barrio de Santa Cruz). It\u2019s recognizable for its many white houses and, one of my favorite stops, Alc\u00e1zar (also referred to as al-Qasr al-Muriq), the oldest residential palace in Europe still in use today (it dates to the 14th century). Take in the entire city from the top of La Giralda tower, part of the Seville Cathedral, and don\u2019t miss the monument dedicated to the different regions of Spain. For modern architecture, check out the Metropol Parasol, which looks like a giant mushroom over Encarnaci\u00f3n Square (stroll the elevated walkway starting at 10 EUR). Seville is also known for its flamenco dancing, so try to see a show if you can. You can&#8217;t visit southern Spain without spending a couple of days here.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5285_c147cf-7b alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"seedo\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5285_3e8187-7a\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7d671ee0 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5285_c769b8-82\">Other Things to See and Do in Spain<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

That said, it\u2019s still a fun place to eat great food in seaside restaurants (the region is famous for <em>pescaito frito<\/em>, or deep-fried fish), enjoy watersports in the clear Alboran Sea, drink sunset cocktails, and relax on beautiful beaches. Malaga is one of the go-to destinations on the coast, but I think there are better places further down, like El Bajondillo\u2019s white sand beach and the incredible seafood surrounding La Carihuela beach. To beat the crowds, visit during the shoulder season. The weather will still be warm, but it won&#8217;t be as crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. See Valencia<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/spain-travel-tips\/valencia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Valencia<\/a> is a pretty amazing town. Initially, I wasn\u2019t attracted to Valencia \u2014 I simply went for the tomato fight in nearby Bu\u00f1ol (most participants use Valencia as their base during the festival). However, Valencia grew on me as I explored the city, as it makes for a quiet stop between Spain&#8217;s more lively cities. Originally a Roman colony and once the capital of Spain, it has delicious seafood, a unique local paella (rather than seafood, the recipe uses chicken, rabbit, and beans), a popular soccer club (Valencia CF), and a giant food market (Mercado Central) housed in an extravagant domed building that looks like a cathedral. It\u2019s a cool city that straddles the past and future with historic streets, futuristic museums \u2014 there\u2019s literally a museum focused on \u201cenlightenment and modernity,\u201d and an awesome seaside boardwalk that passes plenty of great tapas spots and the historic fishing district of Cabanyal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Walk the Camino de Santiago<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>El Camino de Santiago, or The Way of St. James, is one of the most popular pilgrimage routes in the world. The path most people take, the French Way, runs from the border of France all the way to Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain. Stretching 800 kilometers (500 miles), you need around a month to complete the entire route. The mostly flat Camino is best done in May\u00ac\u2013June or September\u2013October (July and August are both very busy and very warm). If you have the time, it\u2019s a really great way to see the country and some of the less-visited areas of Spain. Of course, you can also walk sections of it if you just want to see what it&#8217;s like on a day hike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tour the islands<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain has some of the most beautiful islands in all of Europe. Unsurprisingly, during July and August, they&#8217;re crowded and expensive, so try to avoid peak season. If you love beaches, surfing, hiking, or cycling, then be sure to hit up Gran Canaria, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve filled with beautiful landscapes and wildlife, including dolphins. If you&#8217;re coming to Spain to party, a stop in Ibiza for its all-night clubs is a must. Other islands worth checking out are Tenerife (home to Teide National Park and the highest peak in Spain), Majorca (for turquoise water and medieval architecture), and La Palma (a certified Starlight Reserve). Ferries from Barcelona and Valencia run frequently from late spring to early summer. In the winter, ferries only run a few times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Visit Gibraltar<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Bordering Spain on the Iberian peninsula, Gibraltar has actually been an overseas territory of the United Kingdom since 1713. It\u2019s known as &#8220;The Rock,&#8221; owing to the 426-meter-high (1,397-foot) limestone ridge that dominates the island \u2014 you can ride a cable car to the top, or get great views by climbing the 18th-century Mediterranean Steps. There&#8217;s an interesting mix of cultures here too, with influences from Britain, Spain, and North Africa. With sunny days year-round, views of two continents (Europe and Africa), wildlife galore (including Gibraltar monkeys, which are actually Barbary Macaques and the only population of wild monkeys in Europe). There are also plenty of sandy of beaches and caves to explore (St Michaels Cave is probably the most popular), it\u2019s a small swatch of land with enough to see and do to make a short visit worthwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Play in the Sierra Nevadas<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This mountain range, located within Spain&#8217;s largest nathional park, is in southeastern Spain near the Mediterranean Sea. It&#8217;s the perfect place for summer hiking, winter skiing, and exploring small towns year-round. The area is one of the prettiest and most rugged regions in Spain and one of the better areas for outdoor activities in the country. There are plenty of trails ranging in length and difficulty, as well as the possibility for guided tours. Popular hikes include Mulhacen (6 hours), El Chullo (4-5 hours), and Pico de Veleta (4-5 hours). Lift passes for skiing at Sierra Nevada resort in the winter start at around 50 EUR per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Visit San Sebasti\u00e1n<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Known as Donostia in Basque, San Sebasti\u00e1n is at the center of the Basque area of Spain. This place has killer nightlife and beaches (La Concha beach is the most popular), as well as loads of history throughout the city. It was founded in 1180 in the area that\u2019s now become the Old Quarter. = The architecture \u2014 a cool mix of 16th-century Gothic churches, 19th-century mansions, and ultra-modern buildings \u2014 makes it one of the most beautiful and unique cities in all of Spain. For stunning views of the coast, hike up one of the 4 trails of Monte Urgull, located at the tip of La Concha. The city sees a fraction of the visitors compared to c Madrid or Barcelona so it&#8217;s much less crowded (and less expensive ). The regional Basque cuisine here is delicious, so be sure to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/san-sebastian-l94\/san-sebastian-gourmet-pintxo-tour-t110908\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">take a food tour<\/a> while you&#8217;re here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Admire the Great Cathedral and Mosque<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mezquita de C\u00f3rdoba (Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption) is by far the most exquisite example of Muslim influence in Spain. Located in C\u00f3rdoba just east of Seville, its giant arches, jasper columns, marble floors, richly gilded prayer niches, and the awe-inspiring domed shrine of Byzantine mosaics take you back to when C\u00f3rdoba was under Muslim influence in the 12th century. Admission is 13 EUR and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/cordoba-l1689\/detailed-guided-tour-of-the-mosque-of-cordoba-t131952\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle&amp;cmp=TTDSpain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">skip-the-line guided tours<\/a> are 24 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Unwind in Salamanca<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Salamanca seems to be in the middle of nowhere (it&#8217;s 2.5 hours northeast of Madrid by car), but it&#8217;s worth the detour for the history (it dates back to the Celtic era), and its historical Old Quarter which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The university town has a mix of small-town atmosphere, great nightlife, and plenty of backpackers. In the old quarter, join the other tourists trying to spot the frog carved into the 16th-century university facade \u2014 said to bring professional success. The main square, Plaza Mayor, is one of the largest in Spain and is great for soaking up the city, and the nearby cathedral is gorgeous. It\u2019s actually two cathedrals \u2014an Old, from the 12th and 13th centuries, and New, from the 16th \u2014 joined together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Hike the Pyrenees<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The majestic mountain chain that walls off France is laced with medieval villages, high mountain walking trails, and great skiing. It\u2019s also the traditional start of the Camino (see #3 above). You can hike through the Pyrenees on one of three established routes, but it takes most people almost two months to complete the entire trek (choose spring or fall, summer will be extremely hot). Of course, you can also just hop on the Camino for a single-day hike or weekend hiking trip along one of the moderate routes. If you don&#8217;t want to go solo, you can take a full-day hiking tour of the Pyrenees from Barcelona with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/barcelona-l45\/pyrenees-mountains-medieval-village-small-group-tour-t7563\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDSpain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Your Guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Visit the Guggenheim Museum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most famous museums in the world, the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (a port city in northern Spain) always has some interesting exhibitions on modern art (including a permanent sculpture, \u201cSnake,\u201d that\u2019s made of hot-rolled steel and spans more than 100 feet long!). There is also the iconic (and giant) spider sculpture outside the museum, and pieces by Rothko hang inside. Even if you\u2019re not a modern art fan (I personally don&#8217;t love it), it\u2019s still worth stopping by because the building is art itself. Frank Gehry, arguably one of the most famous living architects, designed it to have an eye-catching, undulating style, and the grand atrium alone is worth a visit. Admission starts at 16 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Explore Basque Country<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Basque Country is an autonomous region in Spain, a place with its own unique culture and heritage. (The Basque people inhabited the area before Spain became a nation.) Located in the northeast corner of the country, you&#8217;ll notice the cultural and linguistic differences as soon as you step foot in the region. If you\u2019re into off-the-beaten-path locations, be sure to tour Basque Country, which offers coastal areas, small towns, and mountains. Don&#8217;t miss the 153-year-old La Bretxa market in San Sebastian (open every day except Sunday), the Gothic-style St. Mary&#8217;s Cathedral in Bayonne, and Le Grand Stroll in Biarritz while you&#8217;re here. (The start of the Camino passes through the area as well.) La Rioja wine region can also be found in Basque Country \u2014 try its famous drink, a white wine called <em>txakoli<\/em>. Expect lots of seafood, lamb dishes, and pintxos (Basque tapas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on specific

Spain<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Spain is pretty safe to visit. Violent attacks are uncommon, and the country is safe for solo travelers However, petty crime is really widespread and pickpocketing is <em>very<\/em> common in the larger cities, especially near major tourist sites (such as La Rambla in Barcelona) and on public transportation. Always keep your valuables secure and out of sight when on public transportation and when out and about. The thieves here are incredibly quick here. Report thefts to the local police, or ask your hotel or hostel how to file a report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be extra careful in Barcelona, especially in high season, where people may try to snatch your phone on the street or grab your stuff in crowded subways (pickpocketing is not as bad elsewhere in Spain). Also, never leave your backpack, phone, or laptop out and unsecured when at a cafe or restaurant. They can disappear in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scams are also very common, especially in the larger cities (not that common though in smaller cities). Keep an eye out for kids in groups who might try to distract you before lifting your wallet, as well as people who might offer to &#8220;help&#8221; carry your luggage or take your photo, only to expect a hefty tip as thanks. You can read about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, the standard safety precautions apply (always keep an eye on your drink at the bar, never walk home alone at night while intoxicated, etc.). Many hostels also have female-only dorm rooms. For specific tips on staying safe, check out one of the many solo female travel blogs on Spain. They&#8217;ll be able to provide specific advice that I, a man, can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 122 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID, and keep them separate from your originals. When you\u2019re walking around, take minimal cash and one form of ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past.

While accommodation costs in most touristy as well as larger cities have risen greatly in the last few years, everything else is still affordable. Individual city guides have more specific information on how to save in each city, but here are some general ways to save money while traveling around Spain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Get the menu of the day<\/strong> &#8211; Most restaurants offer a cheap and filling \u201cmenu of the day\u201d (<em>menu del dia<\/em> during lunch for around 10\u201315 EUR per person. They are a good way to save money while enjoying some delicious Spanish food. Wine or water are generally included, too. Look for more crowded spots \u2014 that\u2019s how you know the food is good. Skip eating out for dinner \u2014 it\u2019s too expensive!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat free tapas<\/strong> &#8211; In some cities (like Granada), you can find bars where free tapas are given out when you order drinks. Bounce around the bars to eat cheap while enjoying a few drinks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> is a great way to save money on accommodations while also getting some insights from locals. You might have better luck in the larger cities, but be sure to book early as the major cities also see the most requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take the bus<\/strong> &#8211; While the train system is fast, it\u2019s expensive, with high speed trains double (or more) the cost of buses. If you have the time and want to save money, take buses to get around the country. It will take longer but, if you&#8217;re on a budget, it will be worth it. And look at booking your tickets online and in advance \u2014 it can save you money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a city pass<\/strong> &#8211; Most of the major cities have multiple museums, attractions, and activities worth checking out. Buying a city pass \u2014 like the Madrid City Card (from 8.40 EUR) or Malaga\u2013Costa Del Sol Sightseeing Pass (starting at 14 EUR) \u2014 can save you money on these activities and also get you free transportation. These passes will save you a lot of money if you&#8217;re planning on visiting the major sights.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ride a bike<\/strong> &#8211; Tourists can use public bikes in cities such as Madrid and Seville for a daily or weekly fee. Take note, Barcelona&#8217;s red city bikes (Bicing) are for residents only, but you can find shops that offer daily or weekly bike rentals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use BlaBlaCar<\/strong> &#8211; This app connects you with drivers who have room in their cars for additional passengers. Drivers are vetted and verified, so it&#8217;s a cool way to get out of stuffy trains and buses, meet interesting characters, and take a mini road trip.

Most big cities have a comprehensive bus system as well. Single rides usually cost between 1.50\u20132.50 EUR. You can often buy day passes that save you money overall if you plan on using the metro system quite a bit. These usually cost around 8\u201315 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bus<\/strong> &#8211; The bus is the cheapest option for getting between cities in Spain. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=16028&amp;awinaffid=509047&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fglobal.flixbus.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FlixBus<\/a> has tickets starting as low as 6 EUR. Most buses come with outlets and free Wi-Fi. A 9\u2013hour trip from Madrid to Barcelona starts from about 35 EUR, while the 4\u2013hour trip between Seville and Granada costs around 25 EUR. Alsa is another popular bus company for travel throughout the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trains<\/strong> &#8211; RENFE is the national rail line in Spain. High-speed trains are more expensive, but you can travel between Madrid and Barcelona in just 2.5 hours. Even on the more expensive high-speed train, however, you can find tickets from Madrid to Barcelona for as low as 55 EUR during off peak times in the offseason. The trip from Madrid to Seville is around 2.5 hours and costs 35 EUR, while Madrid to Valencia is just under 2 hours and costs 30 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find routes and prices for trains around Spain (and Europe), use <a href=\"https:\/\/prf.hn\/click\/camref:1101l3HUwW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trainline<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurail.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eurail Pass<\/a>, which allows travelers to explore Europe by providing a set number of stops in a specific time period, might also be a good option depending on your plans.

You can find really cheap fares on most routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, be aware that you have to pay for all the extras on these cheap flights (such as checked baggage, picking your own seat, etc.) So, while flights are cheap (Madrid to Barcelona can be found for as little as 65 EUR round trip), the little expenses add up. And when you factor in getting to\/from the airport, most flights really aren&#8217;t much faster than the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals can be found for as little as 25 EUR per day for compact vehicles when booked in advance.

Popular destinations like Barcelona and Ibiza experience a massive influx of tourism \u2014 so much so that Barcelona&#8217;s residents have started clamping down on overtourism. Accommodations in the larger cities require serval months of advance booking is summer, and small shops may be closed in August for family holidays. The weather is fabulous this time of year, with high temperatures well into the 30s\u00b0C (90s\u00b0F)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperature in Spain doesn&#8217;t often drop too low, with winter temps between 4-10\u00b0C (40-50\u00b0F) country-wide. However, Northern Spain does sometimes experience snowfall \u2014 especially in the mountainous areas. While I wouldn&#8217;t aim to visit in the winter, if you&#8217;re already in Europe, this is going to be one of the warmer destinations on the continent, especially in the south. Madrid and Barcelona have plenty of holiday festivals in December and early January for Christmas and Three Kings Day. If you are in Spain during the holidays, visit a bakery to try traditional, seasonal desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) are great times to visit. Tourist sites are less congested (think Gaudi attractions in Barcelona)and prices are a bit cheaper, especially accommodations in Barcelona or Madrid. Temperatures are pleasant, although it&#8217;s not exactly beach season. Beach destinations like Ibiza and Mallorca tend to get very quiet during this time, but there is still plenty to see and do around the rest of the country. If you plan on outdoor activities or hiking the Camino de Santiago, this is the time of year to do it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Spain Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.
