Travel Info
One of the country's tourism commercial states, "Smile, you're in Spain," and for very good reason because its attractions, flavors, natural wonders and sights will certainly bring a smile to any traveler's face.
Whether a tour of the incredible Prado Museum in Madrid; the sounds of flamenco dancing in Seville; the stunningly beautiful city of Grenada; classic Roman ruins in Cordoba, or the dynamic cultural attractions of Gaudi's Barcelona - the pleasures of Spain are sure to please and bring you back for more.
Now add to the brief list above Malaga and the Costa del Sol; the beaches along the entire southern coastline; the nearby Balearic Islands; Bilbao, Pamplona, San Sabastian and all of the Basque Country; the scenic resorts in the Pyrenees, and well, there's much to see and do in Spain.
For travel tips, city details, major attractions and points-of-interest, follow the links below.
GENERAL ITEMS OF INTEREST
 Currency Spain uses the euro countrywide. Instead of traveling with your own country's currency and then paying the somewhat expensive cash conversion rates, we suggest - to get the best exchange rate - you use an ATM for cash and credit cards for purchases.

Electricity Spain runs on 220 volts AC (50 cycles).
Note that most modern laptop, cell phone and digital camera chargers are dual voltage and will work perfectly in Spain with just a simple adapter plug. Find electrical adapters, products and tips here!
Times to Travel
Conditions in central and northern Spain are considered near-perfect in spring and late summer, as travelers avoid the oppressive heat of July and August, and the much cooler and colder conditions of late fall and winter.
The 'Costa del Sol' and other southern coastal areas are pleasant throughout the year. Across the Andalucia Region (even in winter) the days are usually sunny and warm. In Andalucia summer months are frequently hot and humid, but manageable.
For those seeking summer heat relief, the mountains are always a good choice, as well as the northern coastal areas from La Coruna to San Sabastian. In addition, the eastern Mediterranean coastal cities - from Barcelona south to Cartagena - and the Balearic Islands, are much more temperate.

For stays longer than 90 days regarding employment, study or tourism, a visa is required and must be obtained in advance. For additional info please contact the Spain Embassy and Consulate with jurisdiction over your individual country of citizenship.
