Best Places To Visit In Spain On A Budget Dreaming of coming to Spain? Come on, you know you want to! Either for one week or ten years you probably need to start somewhere with how much money you can expect to spend while you are in beautiful España. Luckily, Spain is one of the cheapest countries in Europe , so it is easy to travel on a budget while you’re here, especially if you can anticipate what things usually cost in advance. The best place to start is with the budget! Having lived in Spain for three years I have been lucky enough to build a network of an amazing group of people who are more than willing to help out when I get a crazy project stuck in my head.

I have been working for weeks on building a comprehensive budget guide to traveling around Spain , especially to places a little off the beaten track;
Introducing my Spain budget breakdown for 30 cities! I polled in to many friends who live around Spain about what the average cost of 12 different things;

I only asked people who have spent long extended periods of time living in each of these cities, most are expats and some are from Spanish friends. Their prices reflect the most common costs of these items in each city, but we can all safely say that prices fluctuate during festivals and peak beach season, and especially around big tourist monuments. How does the Spain budget breakdown work?

1 beer – Una caña is the standard measurement when ordering a beer, a half pint on tap
1 glass of wine -Just your standard glass of wine, nothing fancy
1 tapa or pincho- Tapas and pinchos are small snack-sized portion of food ordered at bars, usually for dinner
Café con leche -A shot of espresso with milk. This is the standard coffee you order out in Spain
Average meal -For a menú del día , usually at lunch at it’s two courses with desert and wine, varies
Night on the town -How much copas (mixed drinks) and cover charges are
Dorm hostel -shared dorm room in a hostel

If you time your visits right, you can get into most stuff for free – try going on the first weekend of a month, or during festivals like La Mercè, as they often have an open-house weekend for big attractions. The only things I’ve never been able to get into for free are Gaudí’s Casa Batllò and La Pedrera.
Rent- Around €300 + €50 in utilities, light, gas, and wifi would get you a nice-sized exterior room in a shared flat in the city center.
Groceries for 1 wk – €20-30
