Travel Spain
Having lived in Spain since 2001 we can warmly
recommend holidays in Spain. We have chosen to
focus on Madrid, the capital of Spain, Barcelona
because it is such an inspiring place to be and a
handful of cities and villages in Andalucia - simply
because we live here and have a neverending crush

Go ahead, and enjoy your Spain vacation
planner.
Accommodation throughout Spain, from
luxurious hotels and family hotels to
the hostels, are plentiful, clean and
reasonably priced.
Do not be put off by the title “hostal” as
this is merely a hotel category. Competition
and the pride of the proprietors ensures a
good standard.
Another much more private option is renting
a holiday villa with pool or an apartment
through our trusted partners Belvilla or
James Villa.
Finding things to do in Spain is not hard -
most likely your biggest problem will be to
find the time and money to see and do all
the things you would like to. When visiting
Barcelona, Madrid or Seville the City Cards
will save you both money and time waiting
in lines.
If you are looking for an active holiday in
Spain like walking the Pyrenees, the
Andalusian Trails or Santiago de
Compostela - the Pilgrim’s way - you will
find the adventure tours in Spain appealing.
Spanish people are amongst the friendliest
and most courteous in the
world. You will never be alone as help is
always at hand. If you can learn
one or two basic words before your trip so
much the better. As crime rates
are low your security is assured as long as
you take the normal tourist
precautions and don’t leave your brain in
lost luggage or customs.
However, taking out health and travel
insurance is always advisable.

In case of minor medical treatments, the
farmacias (pharmacy or chemists) have
well qualified staff to advise and serve
you the necessary prescription. Look for
a sign, a large green flashing neon
cross, for your nearest pharmacy.
The water, although fine to drink,
differs from place to place and certainly
from your home. Avoid minor stomach
upsets by drinking bottled water. Other
than the risk of Dehli-belly and
hangovers, you should be fine.
It is always advisable to check your
flight times and remember that Spain
is at GMT+1 hour and all times are
given at local time. From your arrival
your options are taxis, hire car or public
transport. The trains and buses
are clean and comfortable although a
little erratic when it comes to time
keeping. Just be patient as another one
will be on its way … if not right away -
then manana!
Ferries in Spain are many. You can sail
to Morocco, Algeria, the Canary Island,
the Balearic Island, Italy and the UK
from mainland Spain and you can book
your ferry tickets online good time in
advance. Especially the Balearic
Islands: Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca
are popular and it is very recommended
to book your ferry tickets in advance if
you are going in July and August.
Hasta la vista in Spain!
