Spain is a popular holiday destination for Britons but how much a one-week stay costs varies greatly across the country.
Research shows where you can get the most affordable holiday this summer.
The average price of a seven-day break in a three-star hotel was looked at in the most popular coastlines in Spain. It looked for those travelling in August 2024.
The cost of the hotel, a rental car, a litre of petrol, dinner for two, public transport and the price of a coffee were all considered in the research by price comparison platform Rastreator.

On the other hand, travellers heading to Spain can save nearly 50 per cent if they pick one of the cheapest locations. Las Palmas in Gran Canaria is a beautiful place with both an active nightlife and places where holidaymakers can relax.
“Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is always a relaxing holiday destination, especially when you find yourself on Las Canteras beach,” Spain.info said.

“It is the city’s main beach and its promenade is over three kilometres long. It’s practically obligatory to have a dip in these transparent waters and watch the fish swim around you. The sea is often so calm it feels like a swimming pool, making it a very safe place to swim.”
While Las Palmas was the cheapest stay overall, the most affordable accommodation is found in Murcia (£303), narrowly beating Las Palmas (£309).
Santa Cruz de Tenerife and Girona also have some of the cheapest hotels at £377 and £639 respectively. Those visiting the Canary Islands will find the cheapest car higher of the Spanish coastal towns, at £100 for a week.
Holidays to Spain have become more expensive in recent years, with research showing the cost of booking a hotel is up 7.3 per cent on last year, sitting at around £165 per night.
