What fun things are there in Spain? Spanish travel and transportation guide

Spain has an architectural style unique to the local region, and the buildings here are really beautiful. Go check it out if you have the chance, and enjoy the scenery in Spain. This kind of life will make you yearn for it in the future. Visa

There is a lot of information online about visa document preparation. Spain is a relatively easy European country to get visas from. We did not find a travel agency. We prepared all the documents ourselves and made an appointment online. We then submitted the documents ourselves and had our fingerprints taken

It takes about four working days for the visa to be issued.

It is worth noting that I applied for the application in early December 2016. Not long after the application was completed, it was accurately stated that "from December 17, 2016, VFS will no longer represent Global" The Spanish Embassy accepts Spanish visa applications. "So now you need to change the website and change the place to apply for the Spanish Schengen visa.

SHA-BARCELONA, MADRID-SHA

The farthest section Shanghai-Spain round trip, I started paying attention to it a year in advance, and finally settled on the flight number 4300 Aeroflot SHA-BARCELONAMADRID-SHA half a year ago

I stopped at Russia's Sheremetyevo International Airport on the way. The price on the official website of Aeroflot is cheaper than Ctrip. It is also convenient to buy. The customer service is all kinds of Russians who can speak Chinese will think that the other party is very good-looking just by listening to the voice!

BARCELONA-GRANADAbyVUELING

We chose Spanish low-cost airline Vueling for this section. Specials can be purchased about four months in advance, and the closer the date, the more expensive the price. The website may not work, but it is very convenient and fast to buy through the app. We bought it for 29.9 euros

You need to buy luggage for 15 euros each 23kg.

GRANADA-SEVILLAbyALSA

This paragraph chooses the Spanish big brand busALSA. Buying tickets is also a bit sad. The website jumps very slowly. After selecting everything, I click on the search button and it jumps to the wrong page. So buying through the app and choosing to pay with a credit card is basically unsuccessful

To avoid trouble, it is best to pay with PAYPAL. However, the exchange rate of PAYPAL is a bit high. But fortunately, the ticket is not expensive and the difference is only a few yuan. You will receive an email after successful payment

Print it out and show it when you get on the bus. (If you don’t succeed in buying, don’t give up! When I bought it for my friends, the payment failed and the seat selection was locked. I waited half an hour to unlock it. Then I tried to buy again and failed and was locked. After repeating this four times, I gave up.

I successfully changed my credit card to PAYPAL! The next day I tried PAYPAL and the payment was successful but I didn’t receive the confirmation email. After I clicked in again to see the location, it was released.

I was shocked and contacted PAYPAL and tried to contact PAYPAL myself by email. ALSA. ALSA's email reply was very fast. After proving that the purchase failed, the money was fully refunded through PAYPAL and the repurchase was successful.

Please note that when buying a ticket, you need to fill in the traveler's last name + first name + passport information. , which is why I bought it three times separately. If you need to help your friends to buy it, please record the information in advance)

SEVILLA-MADRIDbyRENFE

RENFE is also famous. Difficult to buy. Although we studied the strategy two months in advance and got special discount tickets, we were unable to buy the four-person discount. Later we found that the four-person discount on the app was not available

You should have to enter the four-person discount through the website You need information to make a successful purchase. However, the website has been having troubles all year round and cannot be used. When I woke up, the ticket price increased from 30 euros to 34 euros. In desperation, I successfully purchased one by one.

First, connect to the VPN web page through your mobile phone and open RENFE’s official website to register an account. Then download renfeapp and log in to select the train number and date you want to take, click to purchase and select PAYPAL to pay

After success, a screenshot of the QR code will pop up, save it and show it to exchange the ticket before traveling. If it is a Promo ticket purchased in advance, it is very likely that it is non-refundable. You must arrive at the station in advance and do not step on the spot

Otherwise you may miss the train like us. Buying on the spot is really super! Expensive!

MADRID-TOLEDObyALSA

Toledo round-trip tickets can be purchased directly on ALSA, and you can buy OPEN tickets for the return journey so that no matter what time you play, you can go back as long as you have a car. Madrid. The purchasing method is the same as above

It is relatively easy to purchase using the app. It is worth noting that it is best to register before buying. When buying a ticket for the first time, you will need to pay an extra transaction fee of a few euros. The fee is calculated based on the ticket price. The more expensive the ticket will be, the more expensive it will be.

But those who have registered from the second time onwards do not need to pay. So if you want to purchase multiple ALSA tickets, you can buy a relatively cheap ticket for the first time. This is the most cost-effective way! Unfortunately, I only discovered this little bug after purchasing. ..

In addition, to take the bus from Madrid to Toledo, you need to go to Elíptica Station and take Metro Line 6 or 11 to Plaza Eliptica Station and just follow the signs.

MADRID-SEGOVIA by LASEPULVEDANA

I don’t know why there is no ALSAbus on the Segovia section and I can only choose LaSepulvedana. You can also buy a return OPEN ticket

Go to the window to redeem it when you come back The nearest flight will do. It is more convenient to buy tickets directly by clicking on the link~ But the new price of the bus is more expensive than ALSA without ALSA... Tickets

Sagrada Familia

The most worry-free website is easy to log on Just choose the date, entry time, tower climbing time and which tower to climb and pay. It is worth noting that every Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday from 4pm to closing time

Those under 30 years old enjoy a half-price discount. But the sun in the afternoon may not be as good as in the morning, so you won’t be able to feel the beauty of the sunlight shining through the stained glass. In summer, there may still be long days, so bees can make their own choices~

Bartello Tickets for Casa/La Pedrera/Palace Guell etc.

Tickets for some of Gaudí’s more mature attractions in Barcelona can almost be purchased from the official website via Baidu. It’s very convenient. Of course, you can also buy them directly on site. I went there. Because there are not many people in the off-season, the advantage of buying on the spot is that it is more flexible

If you want to go, you can just pass if you don’t want to buy it. There will be no situation where you have to go because you have bought it in China...

Barcelona Cathedral

Free period: 8:00-12:45 Personally I think it is very beautiful and worth visiting The National Art Museum of Nia

It is very, very worth going to see it. The ticket is a little expensive and costs 12 euros, but you can go for free. Although the time is short, it is enough for an art novice!

Free admission period: after 15:00 on Saturday, the first Sunday of every month

Catalunya Music Palace

I heard that the ticket costs 18 Oh, so everyone unanimously decided to watch a show. Unfortunately, flamenco didn't have a schedule in those days, so I chose the one with good looks based on the pictures without knowing what the show was.

In the end, it turned out that he was a handsome conductor. We listened to a very formal symphony concert! And it was only 22.5 euros per person! Great value! So the way to purchase is to click on the link of the Music Palace and select the date

< p>It’s OK to choose a seat and pay. I bought it directly with a credit card. It was successful. It is recommended to use a mobile phone to buy on a computer. The website is not so stable...

Alhambra Palace

Tickets are You can purchase it yourself. Search ALHAMBRA on Ticketmaster, select GENERAL tickets, then select the date, number of travelers, and time to enter the palace.

You can pay. But it's a pity that when I paid, the jump page kept spinning and I couldn't get out. I tried again three times and gave up. Finally, I easily got it on Mafengwo.com and caught up with the year-end event. It was only a few yuan more expensive than buying it myself.

Seville Cathedral

You can buy tickets directly online, which is faster than buying tickets on the spot. Many websites are also very beautiful and thoughtful, but in Spanish, it is still ok if you are half-guessed and half confused. I bought it~

Prado Museum

It is also highly recommended as one of the must-sees in Madrid! Tickets cost 14 euros, but you can also get them for free. Although it starts at 18 o'clock, many people will line up in advance. In fact, foreigners are also very frugal... The museum is quite big

There is no time to see it in two hours! After getting the ticket, you have to queue up to go through the security check and send the package. The clearance starts at almost 8 o'clock, so it's best. Arrange early so you can watch for at least an hour and a half.

Free hours: Monday to Saturday 18:00-20:00; Sunday and holidays 17:00-19:00
