My Airfare Secrets                                                               Bookmark   Spain is a wonderful place to visit year-round. There is so much to do, see, and experience.  You and your family can enjoy outdoor activities like water sports, skiing, and even rock climbing. You can get an ideal of Spain's history through museums and ancient churches. I have listed top tips in order for you to thoroughly enjoy your travel to and within Spain.   1) If you love beaches, you will not want to miss the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol; these are very popular destinations. 2) If you visit Spain during summer, you will not want to miss The Running with the Bulls. If you really want to experience this attraction, be sure to go there in July; the festival is celebrated on this month. 3) If you want to ski, you will find ideal ski resorts in Malaga, Aragon, Torremolinos, and Catabunya. Bear in mind that you can ski in different areas starting early winter to the late months of Spring. 4) If you love visiting museums, you will want to stop by Madrid and Barcelona where you'll find some of the most renowned museums in the world. 5) If you love traveling by water, you can choose the regular hydrofoil and automobile and passenger ferry trips from Algeciras to Tangier and Ceuta; or Malaga and Almeria to Melilla; or Barcelona, Valencia, and Alicante to the Balearic Islands. 6) If you want to experience high-speed trains, you can do so with the Ave service which averages 300kph; it connects Madrid and Seville within only 2 hours and 15 minutes. 7) You can also use a tourist train such as the Andalus Express and Transcanta'brico which provide a refreshing way of experiencing different regions of Spain. 8) If you want to save on rail expenses, consider using the Spanish rail system: it's one of the cheapest in Europe.  Travelers under 26 can buy a RENFE Tarjeta Explorerail which permits unlimited travel on most regional and fast trains. 9) If you are serious about using Spain's rail system, seat reservations are required for all intercity trains. 10) If you are traveling by road, be prepared to pay for tolls in Euros. 11) Buses are a cheap option for getting to one city to another; departures are usually from a key terminal where the operators have individual booths for the sale of tickets. 12) If you decide to rent a motorcycle, be sure to wear a helmet; helmets are required. 13) If you are driving, you must drive on the right side of the road. You must use side lights at night in built-up places. Always keep extra bulbs and red hazard triangles in your rented car.  Two red lights mean "No Entry." The speed limit is 120kph.   My Airfare Secrets                                                               Bookmark
