The 8 most underrated cities in Spain
After France, Spain is the second-most visited country in the world.
Here at Time Out, we really believe locals know best. It’s easy to find out about a city’s biggest attractions, but if you want to really get to know somewhere, you’re going to want to know its secrets; the hidden bars, the tiny galleries, the family-run restaurants that don’t take bookings. The stuff you’ll brag to your pals about for years to come.
So that’s where we come in. We have a huge network of writers based all over the world, and every one of them is obsessed with finding and trying out the latest in food and drink, culture and more in their cities. When a local has just worked on one of our city guides, that’s when it’s at its absolute freshest. And that’s what you’ll find here on this page. These guides are brand-new, fresh-off-the-press, and stuffed full of new openings in our favourite cities, all over the world. If you’re looking for holiday inspo, start here. Enjoy!
🔥 We update this list every time a local adds some brand-new hotspots to one of our travel guides, so make sure to come back for more!
