Spain travel costs
What should you budget for Spain?
Spain can suit almost every travel budget. Budget travellers can keep costs relatively low by using public transport, eating local food and choosing affordable accommodation, while resort destinations and major cities can cost considerably more during peak season.
Your final budget will depend heavily on where you stay, when you travel and the type of holiday you're planning. Barcelona and Ibiza, for example, will normally cost more than smaller cities and less tourist-heavy destinations.
