Travel Tips for Spain
Consider purchasing a Spain Rail Pass for easy, cost‑efficient travel between major cities.
Credit cards are widely used, but small markets and local shops may prefer cash—keep a few euros handy.
Embrace the rhythm of the day: many shops pause in the afternoon and reopen later in the evening.
Dress modestly when visiting cathedrals and religious sites; a lightweight scarf is helpful for covering shoulders.
Spain enjoys a mild climate overall, but summers—especially in the south—can be very warm. Pack accordingly.
