¡Hola amigos! Are you ready to experience the vibrant and colorful land of Spain? From sipping sangria on a sunny beach to marveling at world-famous art and architecture, Spain is a destination that offers something for everyone. Whether you’re a foodie, a history buff, or simply looking for a good time, Spain is the place to be!
So pack your bags, brush up on your Spanish, and get ready for an adventure you’ll never forget. Vamos a España!
In general, the best time to visit Spain is during the shoulder seasons of spring (March to May) and fall (September to November). These months offer milder weather with pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
If you’re looking to soak up the sun and enjoy one (or more) sangrias on a beautiful beach, then the summer months of June to August are ideal. However, it can get extremely crowded, hot, humid, and expensive during this time.
Winters can be very cold and rainy on the coast. But if skiing or winter sports are on your agenda, then the winter months of December to February are perfect for exploring Spain’s snow-capped mountains.
The official currency in Spain is the Euro (€) and you can pay by card almost anywhere. If not, you will find an ATM in every village where you can withdraw money.
Spain has 5 official languages (Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, and Aranese) with Spanish being the most common. There are not many Spaniards who speak English fluently, so it is recommended to know the basics of the Spanish language.
You can drink tap water in Spain, but the taste may vary a bit according to the region.
Spain is a member of the European Union and Schengen Area, making it easy for travelers from other EU countries to visit without a visa.
Travelers from outside EU have to check if their country has a visa-free agreement with Spain for visa requirements.
Because Spain is part of the EU, you can enjoy the European roaming regulation. This means that if you come from another EU country, you do not need a different SIM card.
If you come from outside the EU, you must purchase a SIM. We recommend Jetpac's E-Sim!
In many public places such as restaurants and bars, you also have access to a local WiFi network.
Tipping in Spain is not very common but is always appreciated. If you do want to tip, you can add 10% to the bill.
Spain has two types of power plugs: Type C and F. They operate on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.
The time zone in Spain in summer is GMT+2 and in winter GMT+1
