Traveling to Spain - Here are some tips



Here are some tips if you want to travel to Spain. I lived in Spain around 9 months and I traveled to several countries from there, so I kind of know what I'm talking about ;)

The Tips...

  • If you need to find cheap airplane tickets go to http://www.travelprice.es. There is another site that a friend recommended me, I haven't used it though, http://www.vueling.com

  • The best site to look for hostels is http://www.hostelworld.com, they actually have hostels from all over the world.

  • If you need to travel by train in Spain, the train station website is http://www.renfe.es.

  • There are a lot of bus lines that go from city to city, normally they are faster than a train since they go through the highways, they are cheaper than trains and you can buy the tickets by Internet. The only thing to consider is that you get really tired unless you can sleep in buses. Some information in http://www.auto-res.net, http://www.alsa.es or www.continental-auto.es

  • For the metro in Madrid, they have tickets for 10 travels that costs around 5 euros and something. The single one costs 1.5 euros. These tickets also work in some bus lines, like the EMT ones.

  • There are a lot of bus lines that go from city to city, normally they are faster than a train since they go through the highways, they are cheaper than trains and you can buy the tickets by Internet. The only thing to consider is that you get really tired unless you can sleep in buses.

  • Don't forget to try the Tapas, they are just great like Patatas Bravas or Huevos rotos. Also, drink Sangria, it is great and it is not that expensive there.
