What should I pay attention to when traveling to Spain?

When traveling to Spain, you need to pay attention to:

1, choice of climate and travel time

The interior of Spain is dry and rainy, and it is hot in July and August. The southeast coast has a Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine and rainy spring and autumn. The northern part of Biscay is evenly distributed in four seasons.

The average temperature in the capital 10 is 65438 4.9℃, and it is 22.5℃ in August. The inland of Spain is extremely short of water, and most parts of Spain have mild climate, little rain, dry and windy.

The climate in Spain is diverse. The Meseta Plateau in the middle is continental, with a severe cold of -25℃ in winter and a high temperature of over 40℃ in summer.

The average annual rainfall in the plateau area is about 500 mm.

The best travel time is May, June and September, plus April and 10 in the south. In July and August, Spain was crowded with tourists from all over the world, and it was extremely hot.

2. Cost:

Spain is not expensive in Europe. If you stay in the cheapest hotel, eat the cheapest food and don't go to too many museums, the minimum consumption can be controlled at 20-25 euros. But in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and other big cities, it needs to be raised to 35-40 euros a day.

Tipping is a common habit in Spanish society. Although you may pay a lot of service fees in restaurants, bars, taxis and other places, you should leave some tips, otherwise people will feel uncivilized. The amount of the tip is generally about 5%- 10% of the price paid.

3. Mail:

The main post office is open from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm from Monday to Friday. It is open from 9 am to 65438+ 0:30 pm on Saturday. Stamps can be bought at small tobacco stalls. It costs 0.4 euro to send letters or postcards to European countries by ordinary airmail, 0.7 euro to the United States and Canada, and 1. 1 euro to Australia and New Zealand.

4. Telephone:

The country code of Spain is 34, and the area code of Madrid is 9 1. When making an international call, you should remove 9. When calling from Spain, all telephone numbers are 9 digits, which means that the area code must be included.

The public telephone is blue, so it works well. Coins and calling cards are accepted, and the face value of calling cards is mostly 6 or 12 euros. Both the post office and the small tobacco stand sell them.

It costs 0. 15 euros to make a three-minute local call, 0.39 euros to call other parts of the same province, 0.66 euros to call other provinces and 1.38 euros to call other European countries.
