Money-Saving Tips
Stretch your budget further with these insider tips.
Use the menú del día (set lunch) at restaurants — €12-18 for 3 courses with wine vs €30-50 for à la carte dinner
Buy supermarket provisions at E.Leclerc or Condis for breakfast and picnic lunches — significant savings vs café prices
Take public buses (€1.90-3.50) instead of taxis — the bus network covers all parishes reliably
Duty-free shopping genuinely saves 15-30% on spirits, perfumes, and electronics — plan purchases here rather than Spain or France
Multi-day ski passes offer significant discounts over daily rates — 3-day pass saves approximately 15% at Grandvalira
Caldea is expensive but hotel packages bundle it at better rates — compare accommodation-inclusive spa deals
