But is that just Spain? I know the departure taxes from Spain are lower than many other European countries, but there's nowhere else that you can consistently get sub-$300 fares.

BTW, expenses on the ground aren't that high either. Like I've booked tickets to BCN for a visit to Catalonia and the south of France. A week's automatic transmission car rental is under $150 if you shop around on skyscanner. Hotel expenses, particularly at highly-rated b&b's and gites, are less than half the price of comparable USA accommodations.
