Cadaqués, Cádiz and Bilbao pop to my head off the top of my mind.
good shouts, san sebastien, salamanca and valencia might also be worth looking at but "during the season" Spain is busy all over.
what do you like on holiday?
there is lots of rural or low population areas in spain with things to explore if you have your own transport if you pick a province that you want to go or has a flight eetc
if you are looking for party destinations without norf fc i duno
Swimming is my go-to
Go to any of the Canaries that are not Tenerife or Gran Canaria. If you only want the beach, go to Fuerteventura. If you want to go scuba diving, go to El Hierro. If you also like to hike, go to La Palma and/or La Gomera.
Canary Islanders just staged a massive protest against tourists, kek

>They stress they are not against the tourism industry, which makes up 35% of the Canaries' economy.
>The demonstrators say they want a sustainable model that factors in environmental impacts such as water shortages in a warming climate, and which puts less pressure on costs and housing.
That doesn't sound like anti-tourism to me anon. More of protests against those sub 500€ package holidays which barely leave any money on the islands themselves.

If they were smart, they'd stop standing around with signs like morons and start throwing around some money in local elections. Ban new development, hit the hotels with new taxes, limit the ferry passengers. What does holding a sign do?
That little stretch near Nerja looks nice. Everyone loves that little town Frigiliana up in the hills above the beach. It's supposed to be one of the nicest towns in spain.
>Frigiliana
>"not packed"
pick one.
Basically everywhere in the north. Madrid has been getting busier every year but I'd also say it was underrated until very recently, at least compared to Barcelona.
Everything in Galicia and Asturias.
Cuenca
Literally the entire country is packed with people from April to September, and then from December to February. You are not fooling absolutely anyone by visiting "off-season" when no such thing exists.
As someone who has been to both greece and spain I can't think of a single reason why anyone would go to spain.
>Less packed: greece
>Better beaches: greece
>Nicer people: greece
>Prices: greece
>History: greece
>Food: tie
What parts of Greece do you recommend?
Hard disagree.
>"Less packed"
The most tourists I've ever seen packed into an area was at the Parthenon in Greece. Monastiraki Square is packed shoulder to shoulder every day. I also disagree that Greece was cheaper than Spain. Outside of Barcelona and Madrid, I found better deals in Spain. There were some cheaper food options in Athens, but none that I would trust. Some of the Greek islands like Mykonos and Santorini are insanely pricey for a good meal. The Airbnbs in Greece and Spain are pretty comparably priced. When you factor in the ferries between islands vs the trains in Spain, you'd probably save money. The only area where I think Greece is significantly better would be the beaches.
Spanish language is far easier and Spain is cheaper imo
Spain mogs Greece in every way.. . Nice try avrodiakis.
Agree except on food. Spanish food is way better and more diverse between regions
: greece
A history that hasn't been relevant outside of their tiny inlet for over 2000 years.
For me the most underrated Spanish destination is Toledo being treated as a day-trip from Madrid.
You guys recommend Andalusia?
Thinking about going there late May
Best region of Europe nowadays. It's like California from the 80s. I'd recommend getting a hearty motorcycle and biking everywhere.
>I'd recommend getting a hearty motorcycle and biking everywhere.
shit I love riding motorcycles. did the Ha Giang loop in Vietnam and loved it. will look into this for sure
Salamanca is amazing and you can see it in a day, it's like a two hour train ride away from Madrid. Toledo too, and it's even closer.
Mallorca but inland away from the trash
Definitely Cantabria or northern Aragón
Check out northern Spain during the hot months. Galicia has great food, nature, beaches.and parties everywhere and it is much cheaper than other tourist destinations. I would highly recommend Ressurection fest if you like heavy metal fests and Ortigueira fest, which is a free music festival with folk music, a beautiful beach, heaps of dirty hippies and every drug you can imagine if you ate into that.
>Ortigueira fest
Shit, I might actually go
Extremadura. Literally the least visited by tourists in Spain.
It’s quiet, gorgeous. If you like mountains and wildlife, this is the place to go in Spain. Also great food, as usual.
