On the contrary to what people think, hotels in Spain need not necessarily burn a whole in your travel wallet. A lot of people rely on tour agencies to make all the arrangement for them when you can actually save hundreds of dollars if you DIY. I always tell this to my friend, and they're a convert now.

Let's look at hotels in Madrid:
For 25 Euros you can stay in the quaint Sud-americana Hostal Madrid, budget hostal acroos the street from the Prado Museum, close to Thyssen Museum and Reina Sofia Museum also.Just in the cultural heart of Madrid and a few minutes to the best tapas and nightlife area.

Now for hotels in Barcelona:
For 19 Euros you can stay in the lovely Sun & Moon Hostal Barcelona, a youth hostel room, in the city centre, near the Cathedral, the Gran Teatre del Liceu and most of the museums of Barcelona. Moreover, you can visit the harbour or go to the beach in summer in a short walk.

Now who says traveling in Europe will necessarily be costly? You just gotta travel smart!
