Booking Tips
Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.
Book 2-3 months ahead for peak season (June-August) especially in Barcelona, Seville during Semana Santa, and San Sebastián during the Film Festival in September
Spanish paradores (state-owned historic hotels in castles and monasteries) often offer excellent value for unique accommodation - book direct at parador.es for best rates
Barcelona imposes a tourist tax of €1-4.40/night per person on top of room rate depending on hotel category - factor this into budget calculations
Checking hotel websites directly after finding on Booking.com or Expedia often reveals same price with added perks (breakfast, free upgrade) as hotels incentivize direct bookings
Apartment rentals via Airbnb work well for families and groups in Spanish cities but check local licensing - Barcelona strictly regulates tourist apartments and may phase them out entirely
