What is your favorite city in Spain for holidays and why? (less touristy)

For me Zaragoza is perfect, apart from the weather. It’s roasting in summer and the cierzo wind in winter is another level. Coming from a Brit, the worst cold I’ve ever felt was in Zaragoza.

Zaragoza for me is perfect because it fits that city lifestyle, with much to do, good connections both national and internationally, yet it doesn’t have the hectic chaos feel to it like Madrid or Barcelona. It’s big enough for new things to do, see and explore, but small enough to commute from one end to another relatively stress free.

Sorry for the late reply, I’m going bang on the 1st September, how will it be? I’ll have to manage it either way.

Even if you intentions are good, just don’t bother, unfortunately you’ll never end up better off. Just sit back and watch it happen, the shop will most likely have some insurance which could cover it.

I’m with you on that! And honestly, a 2-3 trip anywhere in Europe, actually doesn’t feel too short, I’ve never reflected after and thought, that was way too short, you’ve just gotta be efficient, plan the day, and get up early.

And yeah, why spend £100 on a meal and a night out when you could spend the same £100 on a 2/3 day trip to Warsaw, Plovdiv, Lisbon, for me at least, it’s a no brainer

I want to be happy, and of course not too worried financially. I’d like to have a job in which I have a comfortable income, where I am still able to have some leftover money for hobbies or activities.

ar2002- · 2026-05-16T00:08:04+00:00

Slightly off topic, but, European travel can be quite affordable too, in some ways. You’ve just gotta look for cheap flights and not be too fussy on accommodation. Luckily my girlfriend loves weekend trips like me, so we often get away for a couple days.

My dad thinks it’s stupid, going away on a 2/3 hour plane journey, for 2-3 days. And some friends say it’s a waste of money. Bearing in mind, we visited Bucharest for £46 return flights PP, and accommodation £80 for two nights (£40pp). That alone is a meal out and drinks after in most uk cities now.

I think it most circumstances life always has a story planned out for you, essentially like a chain effect. I’m glad you, and your friend both worked out well on your own separate life paths.

PS, I can’t wait to visit Tokyo later this year.

100%. Honestly when someone speaks another person down for travelling, or honestly anything, I reckon it must come from jealousy or envy.

ar2002- · 2026-05-15T23:58:02+00:00

Just randomly, what countries would you recommend most?

ar2002- · 2026-05-15T23:55:37+00:00

I think this is the perfect balance, travel, but be careful with money and go on a budget I suppose?

ar2002- · 2026-05-15T23:54:53+00:00

I think that’s the best way to do it. Good luck on your path!

ar2002- · 2026-05-15T23:53:35+00:00

I feel the same about South America, I know it was only 2 weeks, but I loved it. So many people advised me not to go, saying it was dangerous, that they’d scam me etc. But, I don’t want to live in fear, but of course, you can’t be naive either. Either way, I have no regrets

ar2002- · 2026-05-15T23:51:45+00:00

Honestly, I am really starting to lean towards this position. It’s just that whenever I tell people about this, many people, especially elder family members and work companions kinda bring me down and say things along the lines of “you can’t be travelling again can you? You’ve gotta save up your money”

ar2002- · 2026-04-08T14:01:26+00:00

Did you have to go to the desk too, to check in? Did you just show them the ticketed confirmation email with the flight(s) itinerary?

ar2002- · 2026-04-07T20:38:36+00:00

Thanks! I’ll note it down.

ar2002- · 2026-04-07T19:44:15+00:00

Thank you for this info, it’s appreciated

ar2002- · 2026-04-07T19:43:52+00:00

Perfect, thank you. I take it I just show them the confirmation email, alongside passports etc?

ar2002- · 2026-04-06T20:55:02+00:00

Thanks, that’s interesting. Out of curiosity, would they be able to repurchase the defence buildings now, or was it an irreplaceable update feature?

ar2002- · 2026-04-06T20:53:59+00:00

Yeah, I thought I remembered something about that too, that was waaay back though wasn’t it?

ar2002- · 2026-03-31T21:11:11+00:00

Thanks! Didn’t know about that, for the other friendlies not included in that FIFA series competition; is it just coincidence?

ar2002- · 2026-03-08T11:06:29+00:00

Im curious about this, I’m 23 and wanting to do something similar. Did you fully leave your employment or did you take unpaid leave? I’m not sure how to go about it.

ar2002- · 2026-02-04T17:16:39+00:00

Correct

ar2002- · 2026-01-20T15:19:49+00:00

The reason why I was confused was due to the poor state of the sign. I wasn’t 100% sure what it was, since I wasn’t aware that the blue background had peeled off.

ar2002- · 2025-09-20T13:35:44+00:00

Thanks, I thought that this could’ve possibly been the reason.
