. Typical prices are around €80 to €100 for two people per night. For
four people you might be looking at an average of €160 a night. In addition to full apart-
ments, the site also lists rooms available, which can be a good way to meet locals and/or
other travellers if you don't mind sharing common areas. Prices for a room range from
€30 to €60 on average.
Costs
Depending on the season and the hostel, you will pay from €15 to €25 for a dorm bed in a
youth hostel. In small
pensiones
or
hostales
you are looking at a minimum of around €35/
55 for basic
individual/doble
(single/double) rooms, mostly without a private bathroom. It
is occasionally possible to find cheaper rooms, but they can be unappetising. For around
€100 to €140, there are extensive options for good doubles across a broad range of hotels
and areas. The top-end category starts at €250 for a double, but can easily rise to €500
(and beyond for suites).
Some hotels, particularly at the lower and mid levels, maintain the same prices year
round. Others vary the rates for
temporada alta
(high season),
temporada media
(midsea-
son) and
temporada baja
(low season). Low season is roughly November to Easter, except
during the Christmas/New Year period.
Whenever there is a major trade fair (they are frequent), high-season prices generally
apply. Conversely, business-oriented hotels often consider weekends, holiday periods and
other slow business times to be low season. Booking on the web is often cheaper than
turning up at the door.
