Spain

What to expect from Spain?

Spain is a country where all senses come to life. History, culture, tradition, architecture, food, beaches, mountains, open-minded people, modernity, and much more are awaiting you in one of the most friendly and varied countries in Europe. Despite being relatively small, there is something for everyone here, and even as a Spaniard myself, the country keeps surprising me every single day!

From the green landscapes and the incredible food portions of the North to the castles and many fortresses all around, and from the super-modern cities with absolute architectural charm to the most rural areas where almost no wifi is found, the whole country is very well connected. Long well taken care of highways, dozens of airports and a train station in every province capital make traveling in Spain very easy to foreigners and locals.

Some of the largest sand beaches in Europe are located in Southern Spain, together with beautiful white Andalusian towns and fresh Mediterranean food. Its islands are also very unique! The Canary Islands offer some unspeakable «Out-of-Earth» scenarios and mixed cultures and the Balearic Islands turquoise waters are the envy of the neighboring countries!

Long distant trains are now more affordable than ever – costing an average of 40 EUR / 45 USD. Taxis and Ubers are also available but this will higher your daily budget.

Suggested daily budget – 30 – 35 EUR / 34 – 40 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you’re staying in a standard hotel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!)
