Question Solo Travel at 71: Tips for Spain

[TarmacDreamer]

I'm planning a 2-month solo trip to Spain from March to April. My wife can't join me since she's still working, and I want to make the most of this adventure. At 71, I'm excited but also a bit apprehensive about traveling alone. What are some must-visit places, safety tips, or any advice for solo travelers my age? Also, how do locals view older solo travelers? Looking forward to hearing your insights!

That sounds like an incredible adventure! Spain is very welcoming to travelers of all ages, and many locals appreciate the stories and experiences that come with age. For must-visit places, don't miss Barcelona for its stunning architecture and vibrant atmosphere, and Seville for its rich culture and history. As for safety, keep your belongings secure and stay in well-lit areas, especially at night. Have you considered joining local tours or classes? It’s a great way to meet others and immerse yourself in the culture. What are you most excited to see in Spain?
