One of the best experiences I had was in a small hostal (a family-run little hotel) in Córdoba. Beautiful moorish house, I had my own little room, and breakfast in the moorish patio, served by the owner, all included for 23 euros. Or for the adventurous, or at least young at heart: http://www.hospitalityclub.org It is a hospitality exchange community. I´ve stayed with locals in Sevilla, Granada, Barcelona, Prague, and now I´ll spend a few days with someone in Budapest. Excellent way to actually see a place, hang out with locals, eat at the not-touristy spots, and make friends on the way.
