Spain does not have a great amount hostels compared to the rest of Europe. The major touristic cities have hostel accommodation, but everywhere else budget accommodation can be found at pensions and hostals.

I like staying in pensions in Spain as you get to see the insides of the apartment buildings that they are in, and if you have been staying in hostels a private room is a welcome luxury. Most pensions can't be booked online though so you have to look around when you get into town.

I got to Cadiz early in the morning with the intention of staying at the only hostel in town, but I found that it had since closed down after my guide book was published. I walked around for about an hour until I found what must have been the last room available for the day at the Pension Inma in the Old Town of Cadiz.
