By car:
Do not park on forbidden areas!
|
- |
Do not leave valuable
things or documents inside the car. Especially in the
big cities it is better to check in first in your
hotel!

Dress yourself
discreet when you visit churches or monasteries. The
Spanish do wear bathclothes only on the beach.

Money
Banks open only in the morning (8.30 a.m. to 2.00 p.m.).
Money cashiers are very often. The main credit
cards are accepted in many hotels, restaurants, stores
and shops.

Post
Postboxes are yellow and have the typical horn logo.
Stamps can be bought in the post office, tobacco and
newspaper shops.
|
- |
Have in mind the
typical opening hours in Spain. Especially during the
hot summer months many shops close between 1.30 and
5.30 p.m. - time for a "Siesta". Therefor
they open a bit longer on the evening!
