Can anyone recommend a destination in Europe that has a good beach, cheap beer and good hostels? Just looking for somewhere hot with decent nightlife to hang out for a week or 10 days. Preferably not a package destination such as Magaluf or Benalmadena or the like. I've never been to Barcelona..it has a beach and being Spain beer should be pretty cheap. Is it a good place to hang out for a week? I've heard mixed reports, that it can be dangerous and seedy. That's the kind of place I'm thinking of, somewhere hot with reasonable flights and cheap beer...not a lot to ask
