A trip to Spain with friends: where to go and how to organise it
Sunshine, affordable prices, nightlife and culture: Spain is the group destination par excellence. Here are the best places to go and the method to organise it all without descending into chaos.
1. Which destination suits your group?
- Barcelona β the perfect city break: architecture, beach, nightlife. Ideal for a long weekend
- Andalusia (Seville, Granada, MΓ‘laga) β a warm, culture-packed road trip over 5-7 days
- Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza) β beach and partying, perfect for a group that wants to let loose
- Valencia β cheaper than Barcelona: beach, paella and a relaxed vibe
- Costa Brava β ideal for renting a big villa with friends at a shared price
2. Pick a destination without an endless group chat
The method that works: everyone suggests 1-2 destinations, they are all shown side by side, and the group votes. On SharingTrip, you propose places to stay (Airbnb, Booking, Abritel) and everyone votes right in the app. The organiser confirms once there is a consensus.
3. The budget per person
Spain remains one of the most affordable destinations in Europe. On average, expect:
- Long weekend in Barcelona: β¬250-400 per person (flight + shared accommodation + nights out)
- A week in Andalusia: β¬450-650 per person
- Villa with friends on the Costa Brava: the cost per head drops fast at 8-10 people
SharingTrip automatically splits shared expenses and works out who owes what to whom, at real cost.
4. Shared accommodation: the smart move
The bigger the group, the more renting a large apartment or villa makes sense. Paste your booking link into SharingTrip, invite your friends to join the trip, and split the cost at real cost β no commission, no mark-up.
5. The checklist for a group trip to Spain
- β Destination voted on by the group
- β Dates aligned (availability poll)
- β Accommodation booked and costs shared
- β Budget per person agreed
- β SharingTrip group created to track expenses
