🎟 Book aheadSagrada Família, Park Güell and the Alcázar sell out. Grab timed tickets a week or two before.
🚗 Rent on the islandsTenerife and Gran Canaria's best bits are inland. A small car beats taxis and tours.
🧥 Layers for TeideHot at sea level, genuinely cold and thin-aired at the summit. Bring a jacket for up top.
🍽 Spain eats lateDinner rarely starts before 21:00. Lean into it, the long evenings are the best part.

Flight prices via Google Flights, refreshed each run; the Split→Barcelona overnight is hand-checked since the price API hides overnight self-connections. Weather is the typical average for these dates (Open-Meteo), switching to a live forecast once you're within two weeks. Budget-carrier bag fees are estimates (€45/person). Photos: Wikimedia Commons. On board: seats over the wing, mid-cabin, side by side.
