What do I need to prepare for going to Spain?

To travel to Spain, you should make the following preparations:

I just went to Spain the other day. Spain is so suitable for traveling that it is simply a paradise for buying and eating. I will write down the preparations before the trip:

(1) Passport: Don't tear off the bar code on the back of your passport after you get the visa. I have to brush it again when I leave the country.

(2) Airport taxi: Between Madrid airport and the city center, the one-way round-trip fare of ordinary taxi is 30 euros. I saw a big Uber advertisement at the airport, which was more expensive than the flat rate.

(3) Safety: We two girls and one boy travel. As long as we are alert to domestic shopping, we should always pay attention to packing our mobile phones. Not so dangerous.

(4) Uber: We have been waving to stop the car and feel that it is not expensive. And because of the restrictions of Catalonia, Barcelona can't play Uber.

(5) Telephone card: I bought 1G traffic from an American operator before I left, and spent 60 yuan. Oh, my heart is bleeding … I didn't know until I arrived in Spain that you could take your passport to any Vodafone for a travel package. 20 euros 15G plus SMS.

(6) tipping: I didn't know until I came to Europe. I don't accept tipping here! I have struggled for tips in America for many years, and I feel like I am in heaven …

(7) It is best to make a shopping plan in advance and buy it all in one shopping mall, which is the best way to get a tax refund. The British Palace in Madrid with luxury goods is easy to buy!

(8) Buying a bag at the airport: Many people say that they can't buy a bag after going through the security check. This is not the case now. Madrid airport and Barcelona airport can continue to buy in buy buy after security check, and the tax refund procedures are the same as those in the city. If you regret not buying, continue to buy at the airport!

(9) Tax Refund: I chose the local tax refund, and I have to pay a handling fee of 5 euros. The advantage is that I can get cash in advance and spend it on the rest of the trip. In addition, Gucci's clerk told us that cash is rarely returned at the airport now, so we return it directly in the city to avoid uncertainty.

(10) Cash: Continued, I basically didn't change cash before going out. I got the tax refund on the first day of shopping in one go, and then got the cash. You can do without cash. You can swipe your card anywhere.
