If you plan to visit Spain for the first time or the 100th time – you are welcome here to take a look over my proposals for you, reviews and honest thoughts!
This country has everything you want for! No matter if you are here on a budget trip, a backpack around Europe, searching for a luxurious vacay, or just a mix in between…but you CAN FIND ANYTHING you wish for! Plus lots of good wines….and you know…wine is always there!
Accommodation – when it comes to Spain you can have some pretty cheap when options compared to other countries in Europe. To go in details a little – dorm beds in hostels can be found for around 17+ EUR per night and go as high as 35+ EUR in major cities. If you opt for a hostel private room prices start around 40+ EUR per night.
Yes you will have in most of them Free WiFi and some hostels come with free breakfast also. Budget hotels begin around 45+ EUR for a twin/double and go up from there.
As usual you will find slightly lower prices outside the major cities and tourist areas.
Food – You are in Spain so here you will get cheap tapas and sandwiches meals or “Huevos frito” fried eggs for between 3-10+ EUR.
If you want wine included, expect to spend about 15+ EUR per meal. A good restaurant meal will set you back around 13 EUR. If you go out for paella, drinks, or appetizers, then you should plan to spend around 30 EUR for a meal. Spain has a lot of expensive restaurants, and meals there begin around 35 EUR+ with a drink.
Fast food like McDonalds and Burger King cost around 10 EUR.
Groceries will cost around 25-30 EUR per week – if you stick to local markets. Here you’ll also find the cheapest and freshest products! So go there and take a look.
Transportation – From car rentals, to trains, buses and BlaBla Car you have many options available to cross Spain from one point to another!
We decided to rent a car for our 1 week stay and this because in our case it was the fastest and also the cheapest options. If you plan to use the public transport, while the train system is fast, it’s also expensive so if you have the time and want to go on a budget, take the buses.
Suggested daily budget – 100-150 EUR + if you stay in a hotel, car rental, go to museums, eat out in a medium place 2 + times that day, maybe some souvenirs also.
50-60 EUR + assuming you’re staying in a hostel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation.
