We believe in being upfront about how PlanYourSpainTrip.com supports itself. This page explains which links on our site are affiliate links, what that means for you (spoiler: nothing extra to pay), and how we decide what to recommend.
An affiliate link is a special URL that includes a tracking code identifying PlanYourSpainTrip.com as the referring site. When you click one and then make a booking or purchase with that partner, we may receive a commission from the partner — typically a small percentage of the booking value. You pay exactly the same price as if you went directly to the partner's website.
We work with (or plan to work with) reputable travel companies across the categories most relevant to trips in Spain:
We also participate — or apply to participate — in affiliate programs administered through networks such as CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction) and TravelPayouts. These networks simply handle the tracking and payment relationships between us and the individual travel brands above.
Our editorial process is simple:

Individual posts may include a short disclosure banner near the top as a reminder. All affiliate links are ones we believe add genuine value for readers.
To be completely clear: clicking an affiliate link on our site does not make your booking more expensive. In many cases, the partner's rate is the same whether you come from us, a competitor, or directly. Affiliate commissions are paid by the partner out of their existing margins.
Affiliate commissions are how independent content sites like ours stay sustainable without flooding readers with intrusive ads or gated paywalls. If you find our guides useful and decide to book through one of our links, thank you — it's the single most meaningful way to support the site.
