January 23, 2012

Here are some tips to travelling the country... 1. Remember the Siesta – pretty much everything will be closed between 2 and 5pm during which time it is Spanish tradition to take a nap. Schedule meals around these times. 2. Stay in hostels t save money or camp. Hostels are a great way to meet travellers but camping is the most cost efficient accommodation. If you intend to camp however you will need to carry your tent and other camping gear around with you which can be a hassle.
