So, why is there so much difference between prices? Well, the number of airports that operate a certain route coupled with the existence of low-cost airlines in those airports has an impact when it comes to offering the best price.

In fact, many of Spain’s major cities rely on secondary, smaller airports from which many flights are generally more affordable.

For this reason, it’s always a good idea to check the prices of flights for nearby airports, as it is here that you might find the best prices.

And, the same way that some airports are cheaper to fly out of than others, the same goes for flying into Spain from various European destinations. The cheapest is Madrid, followed by Barcelona, Seville, Santiago de Compostela, Valencia, Palma de Mallorca, Bilbao, Málaga, Alicante and Murcia.
