How much spending money do i need??

Question

I'm going on a two week holiday with my girlfriend to Fuerteventura in September for 2 weeks. We're on a self catering basis.

I was just wondering how much money you think that i'd need to take away with me for the both of us.

Now i've been away with my mates before for 2 weeks and have spent about £800 myself but i was pretty much drinking 24 hours a day.

I reckon a £1000 will do us fine but she's worrying that we'll need more. We'll be eating out all the time but alcohol will not be consumed every night.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer 1

1500 to 1800 should do it. Enjoy your trip.:-)

Answer 2

That will be plenty as you will be going self catering. Take tea if you like to drink it. It's very expensive there!. I  would suggest to go to the supermarket when you get there and buy ready meals, they are really delicious in Spain, so are the fruits.  Have brunch and you won't feel so hungry the rest of the day and then you can eat out.  You don't want to spend your holidays cooking.

Have a few drinks if you are not driving, before you go out.  You will spend less in the bars. Go to happy hours and keep away from luxurious restaurants. You could always take a credit card if you have one. Not AMEX.
