Where to stay in Spain

Backpacker hostels: In major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Seville, there's usually a wide choice of backpacker hostels on offer. Most of these hostels have dorm rooms that contain up to 12 people; prices are usually based on each dorm bed. Private rooms are sometimes available at an affordable price in these hostels. Some hostels provide lockers and bed sheets, while others don’t. Be sure to enquire or check online before booking.

Casa Rural accommodation: Rural houses scattered throughout the countryside in various regions of Spain are extremely popular with local tourists. Most of these countryside lodges offer comfortable accommodation in a beautiful natural setting, with breakfasts included. This is a good way to explore Spain’s backcountry and mingle with the locals. Standards are high and comfort is the priority in these accommodations. In general, you’ll need to drive to get to these rural houses.

Apartment hotels: In most beach towns and islands of Spain, self-catering apartment hotels are very popular. This type of lodging is usually comfortable, convenient and provides you with plenty of privacy and freedom. While meals are not included, you are free to use the kitchen facilities to prepare your own meals. Apartment hotels are excellent options if you’re spending over a week in the same location. They are usually spacious, with separate living and sleeping areas. They allow you to experience living like a local and at the same time, keep expenditure to a minimum.
