Accommodation in Spain is relatively cheap however much will depend on where and when you visit Spain.

Accommodation in Spain ranges from very cheap hotals to luxury hotels. A hostal can cost as little as 20 euros per night however, facilities will vary

Along the coast of Spain you will find a wide variety of hotels. You will find however that many hotels charge a premium rate if you walk in off the street. If you have internet access at the time it may pay you to search for the hotel online and try to make a booking online.

Hostals are different in so much as you will be able to walk in off the street and pay for one night or more in cash.

Long term accommodation in Spain is best arranged through a specialist agent. You will be required to sign a contract and make a deposit payment (usually two months rent). Contracts range from 6-12 months and are usually renewable. Your rent will be payable in advance and you will normally be liable for all utility bills associated with the property.

Prices of long term rentals in Spain will vary considerably depending on location and time of year. If you are looking to start your contract in the middle of summer then expect to pay top price and have to search for properties, again a specialist agent will be your best help.

Most agents are reasonable about returning deposits when you leave, providing that the property is in good condition, with no damage and nothing missing.
