How much money should I bring to Spain?

How much money should I bring for a holiday in Spain?

• I'm 16. In two years time, I'm going holiday with my mates to Spain by either ferry or plane. I think I'm going Almeria (specifically rodaquillar) and I'm just wondering, how much money should I save up for this trip? I'm not really sure.

• Answer:

  It depends on what you want A pint of beer costs circa € 2-3 per pint, cocktails in a cheap bar € 4-5 and € 9-10 in clubs / "hot" bars Food is fairly cheap in shops, average family weekly shop is circa € 100 per week. Staples like bread etc are less than euro a loaf etc You can buy a decent bottle of wine for € 2-3 on the supermarkets, spriits (Spanish) € 5 per bottle / named brands € 10 per bottle. BTW bottles of 2L water costs as little as 15c Menu del dia will cost between € 7-10 some include drinks etc. Coffee and soft drinks are € 1-3 in bars Be aware that there's no real consumer protection and most goods are shoddy due to mistreatment during delivery. If something doesn't work, they will send it for repair even if you've just handed over the money Hotel chains costs around € 50-60 per night and the best are probably Ibis and Holiday Inn (HI has breakfast included) As always, airport and motorway service stations etc prices are 2-3 times the above I hope that that helps, if you've any specific questions fell free to ask me via email Good luck and enjoy
