Travel across Spain

Information about Spain

“I need Spain” is the slogan of the National Tourism Office of Spain, and this statement will not be accepted unless only by a hardened selfish person. First of all we need beautiful sandy beaches of the best resort in Spain Canary. Second of all  we need the world’s most delicious ham and paradise ragweed – sangria (how else to glorify Spain, if not with a glass in your hand!). Third of all we definitely need nockout of castanets and heels, swirls of polka dots and passionate cantor flamenco bunnies that Spain gave to the world. We really need all these phantasmagorias, like clockworks and flowing gutters (oh, Spain is a big trick). Add here all the nice little things, like inexpensive but quite serious skiing, a variety of nightlife and the opportunity to buy things from the podium at an outlet price – Spain is unreasonably proud of the biggest and cheapest shopping. An additional bonus that Spain has carefully prepared for tourists – a visa here requires a “public” Schengen, which allows you to go for a day or two to neighbors in Europe.

Hotels in Spain

In Spain, there are no uniform state rules for the classification of hotels in the country: each region solves this issue locally. Hotels in Spanish resorts are mostly urban, have no private beaches and are located in small towns with many shops, bars, restaurants and discos. The use of swimming pools and sun beds in the vast majority of hotels is free of charge. Another popular option is to rent a villa: for large companies the cost may be even lower than in hotel rooms, and the comfort level is an order of magnitude higher.

Under the “excursion” usually there are hotels 2-3* in the city center, food – breakfast (often continental) plus dinner. In ski resorts, on the contrary, high-level hotels, mainly with half board (buffet). Beach resorts also include all-inclusive hotels. The cost of daily rent in Barcelona – from 50 EUR for an apartment for two, from 60-80 EUR for a double room in a three-star hotel and from 77 EUR in a four-star hotel.

Spanish cuisine and restaurants

There is the cult of food in Spain- many restaurants and eateries offer taverns to join the cuisine and wines of Spain. In addition to national dishes, some cafes have an Italian, Mexican and Asian menu. In addition, there are a large number of regional cuisines in the country, which are markedly different from one another.

There are international networking cafes – McDonald’s, KFS, WOK TO WOLK. For a reasonable price snack with national sandwiches can be found in fast food establishments 100 montaditos. A good way to save on food is to use a business lunch. In Spanish, it is called “Menu del dia” and is offered from 12:00 to 16:00 in almost every restaurant. For the same price of 10-15 EUR you can dine in Chinese restaurants, which prepare not only Asian dishes, but also ordinary European food – fresh and good quality. Many cafes operate on a buffet basis without limiting the number of approaches.

The most famous Spanish dish – paella (rice with seafood), is also worth trying “jamon” – raw pork. Fish and seafood are quite common. From the popular Catalan white wines “Penedes” and “Ampurdana”, “Jerez” from the city of Jerez de la Frontera in the southwest of Andalusia is considered to be the pride of the country, and the Canary out of lanzarote grapes produces excellent semi-sweet wine “Malvasia”.
