🌴 Which Canary Island fits your budget? ✈️☀️ 
💸 Budget-friendly
Fuerteventura, one of the cheapest overall (especially for beaches and apartments)
La Palma , great value for nature trips and rural stays
La Gomera,  low prices but fewer options (simple, local tourism)
El Hierro, cheapest lifestyle, very low tourist pressure
 
💰 Mid-range
Tenerife, best deals due to competition (flights, stays andfood options)
Gran Canaria, similar to Tenerife, wide range of prices depending on area
 
💎 Higher cost (especially in summer / tourist zones)
Lanzarote, tends to be more expensive for accommodation and dining in peak season
 
💡 Tip: In summer (July–August), ALL islands increase in price,Tenerife & Gran Canaria usually stay the most flexible due to availability, while smaller islands can be limited and sometimes pricier because of low supply.

If you’re doing Interrail, this can save you 300€ 🚆

💸Not using travel days properly.
Every time you travel, you use one of your limited Interrail travel days.
Using one for a short or cheap route gives you much less value than using it for a long or expensive journey.

💸 Paying for seat reservations you don’t need
Your Interrail pass covers many trains for free, but some high-speed trains require extra paid reservations.

🌙 Not taking advantage of night trains
You pay for transport and accommodation separately
Night trains combine both in one trip

📍 Booking accommodation too close to stations
Convenient, yes… but usually overpriced
5–10 minutes further away is often much cheaper

🗺️ Ignoring city-to-city distance strategy
Bad route planning means more travel days used
More travel days means higher total cost

🧠 Smart moves:
– Use travel days for long distances only
– Check reservation-free routes first
– Consider night trains for longer journeys
– Stay slightly outside main station areas
– Plan your route to minimise travel days

Seville in spring hits different… and Feria de Abril is the reason 💃🌸

This isn’t just a festival, it’s one of the most vibrant cultural experiences in Spain. Music, dancing, traditional outfits, food, and lights everywhere.

✨ What is Feria de Abril?
A week-long celebration in Seville where locals gather in “casetas” (private tents) to eat, drink, dance sevillanas, and celebrate day and night.

👗 Outfit (and cost)
Dressing up is part of the experience:
• Women: flamenca dress → €1oo–€300+ (buy or rent)
• Men: shirt + trousers or traditional suit → €50–€150
💡 You can also go more casual, but dressing up makes it 10x better

🍤 Food & drinks (budget)
• Rebujito (typical drink): €8–€12
• Tapas: €3–€8 each
• Full meal: €15–€30
• Churros late at night = a must

💸 Good to know
Cash is VERY important, many casetas don’t accept cards, so bring enough with you.

🎡 Things to do
• Dance sevillanas (even if you don’t know how)
• Hop between casetas (public ones exist!)
• Go to the fair rides area
• Walk around at night when everything is lit up ✨

💭 Why go?
Because there’s nothing like it. It’s authentic, chaotic, beautiful, and full of life. One of those experiences you don’t just visit — you feel.
