Tips For Travelling Spain

Ah Spain, a mere two hour plane ride away and you can find yourself in a golden land of heat and beaches. Drink sangria, eat tapas and take advantage of an afternoon nap. 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. Perhaps stay in hostels for as long as money allows then watch out for tents for sale.
3.    Always carry toilet paper with you as you may not find it in all bathrooms.
4.    Don’t carry to much cash with you, only ever what you need and carry it on different parts of your boy in the unfortunate scenario that you are mugged.
5.    Spain’s public transportation is very good so the best way to see the country is by taking the train. Fares are not dirt cheap but they are comfortable. Look out for the high speed train called, AVE.
6.    To save money on food look for the menu of the day where you will get traditional, home cooked food of usually three courses for a few pounds. Usually you will get starter, main and sometimes a dessert.
