Overview
- The INE Familitur release on Monday found Castilla y León registered more than 3 million resident trips in Q1 2026, equal to 9.2% of national domestic travel and placing the region third after Andalucía and Cataluña.
- The region logged over 8.8 million overnight stays but an average trip length of 2.9 days, which is shorter than the national average of 3.6 days.
- Castilla y León recorded one of the lowest average daily expenditures at about €59 per person, well below higher‑spending destinations such as Canarias and Madrid.
- Adjusted for population, residents of Castilla y León were the most travel‑active, with 927 trips per 1,000 inhabitants, and 2.2 million trips originated from the region with 6.9 million outbound overnight stays.
- The Q1 figures come outside the summer peak and reflect an interior‑region profile of many short, lower‑spend visits, which could limit local business revenues and point to a need for strategies to lengthen stays or raise per‑visitor spending.
