Treats and Tips

Finding discounts throughout Spain isn't difficult, it just requires a little motivation and some research. Many institutions offer discounts to students, young travelers and groups.

  • Paradores offer discounts to travelers between the ages of 20 and 30. For only 48 euros a night, a standard double room and buffet breakfast is included. The discount extends to travel companions of any age, provided they share the room. Learn more about the “Young Persons’ Getaway.” Young Persons’ Getaway.
  • Isla Mágica offers discounts of 40 percent
  • In cities like Granada, Leon, Madrid and Salamanca, tapas are often free with drinks. Look for bars and canteens that don’t say restaurant above the door. These places may sometimes compensate for free treats with overpriced drinks. However, tapas usually upgrade with every drink.
  • Reserving accommodations ahead of time will save money. Check if they offer discounts to students or young travelers. Many do.
  • Purchasing train tickets while still in the U.S. is a great idea. The EU adds certain taxes when tickets are purchased in europe.
  • Securing the taxi for the day or night is a great way to save money. By hiring taxis for a specific amount of time, you have a driver who knows the city for a reasonable price.
