ESSENTIAL INFO
Know Before You Go
Getting Around
Spain’s high-speed AVE trains link major cities; buses and regional trains cover the rest. Car rentals make sense for smaller towns and coastal drives
Budget Planning
Daily spend €70 – €150 ($75 – $160) depending on travel style. Most museums offer free entry one day a week.
Cultural Etiquette
Lunch starts late, dinner even later. Tipping is minimal, and greetings are warm. Two cheek kisses are common among friends.
Language Tips
English is widely understood in big cities; learning a few words like gracias, por favor, and la cuenta por favor goes a long way.
