Practical guide for traveling in Spain, full of useful information

Practical travel guide to Spain, full of useful information! Spain is a passionate and artistic paradise, known for its bullfighting, dance, and guitar. It has very superior tourism resources. Most of its land has a mild climate, beautiful mountains and rivers, bright sunshine and beautiful scenery. It has many palaces, churches and castles, as well as many ancient and unique national cultural traditions and unique national cultural and entertainment activities. Let’s take a look at Luluxing Travel Network! Practical guide for traveling in Spain 1. Suggested Spanish travel routes: Madrid (Segovia) – Seville – Ronda – Granada – Barcelona, ​​and vice versa, don’t go back. 2. Spain tourist visa: If you have signed a Schengen visa before, you can try to request multiple visas for more than one year. 3. 3 hours is enough for Segovia, not counting meal time, and the bus is more convenient. The bus company is La Sepulvedana. The bus is very new and comfortable. Please note that there are express and local buses. The express bus takes 1 hour and 15 minutes and the local bus takes 1 hour and 36 minutes. At Madrid Metro Moncloa Station, turn left at the end where the ticket is sold, and go upstairs to the departure platform. 4. It is best to book RENFE 2-3 months in advance. There will be special discount tickets, but the website is unstable and it is best to circumvent the wall. 5. If you plan to go to Alhambra, you can give up the Royal Palace of Seville. Most of the attractions in downtown Seville are along the T1 tram, which is best on foot. A single tram ticket costs 1.4 euros. The cathedral is worth seeing, and climbing to the top is not tiring either. 6. The bus from Seville to Ronda is the most convenient, and the station is close to Plaza de España and the University of Seville. You can store your luggage at Ronda Bus Station, but it's very expensive at 1 euro an hour. 3-4 hours is enough for a tour of Ronda. There is a train from Ronda to Granada, but you need to change buses for the latter part. 7. Tickets for the Alhambra Palace must be booked in advance. On the same day, you must first go to the ticket office near the Heneloriffey Gardens to exchange your tickets for admission. It takes about 7-8 minutes to get to the Nasrid Palace from here, so you need to calculate the time in advance because there is a time limit for entering the palace. If you buy a morning ticket, it is recommended to choose an earlier time to enter the Nasrid Palace (the least crowded at this time, suitable for taking pictures). After coming out of the Nasrid Palace, visit the Patar Gardens -> Ring Road Towers -> Henilo Rife Gardens -> Upper Alhambra -> Carlos V Palace -> Alcazaba Fortress -> Go down the mountain from the Gate of Judgment. Of course, you can also visit the Alcazaba Bunker at the earliest. It is recommended to take C3 or C4 to go up the mountain, which can go directly to the ticket office. Climbing uphill in the morning is quite tiring. 8. The overnight train from Granada to Barcelona has not yet been repaired. It is recommended to fly. You can book Vueling in advance. The fare is not expensive. Vueling has much better conditions than ordinary low-cost airlines. Baggage inspection is not strict. Generally, you can bring 20 inches. But Vueling’s official website needs to be bypassed. 9. From Barcelona to the city center, the first choice is to take the R2N train, which has fewer stops. But if you need to take the T2B train, it leaves every half an hour. You can use the T10 ticket. 10. Barcelona's T10 (10.2 euros) is powerful and can be used for basically all urban transportation, and you can transfer within 75 minutes. The T10 in Madrid has now been replaced by a new transportation card, which costs 14.4 euros, of which more than 2 euros are the card fee, which cannot be refunded, which is a bit of a pitfall. You can take the subway and bus in Madrid's T10, but you can't take the train. The cheapest train from the airport to the city center is 2.6 euros. 11. It is recommended to book tickets in advance for La Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, but not for Batlló and La Pedrera. You can buy tickets on site and queue up at the Passion Facade of the Sagrada Familia. Those who have reserved tickets online can enter at the Nativity Facade. Park Guell originally said it was free to enter before 8 a.m., but tickets would be checked when you came out, so you might as well buy a ticket. Or just go at night, but you won't see anything at night. It is recommended to take bus 24 to Park Guell and park directly at the back entrance of the park without having to climb the hill. 12. There are no free hours at Barcelona Cathedral, and the ticket is 7 euros. 13. Any Renfe train ticket that meets the transfer conditions will be accompanied by an additional Combinado Cercanías password: the transfer conditions require that the train must be a long-distance train (including high-speed rail), with no limit on the travel distance; and at least one of the departure and arrival stations must have Cercanías. With this password, you can pick up the ticket from the automatic ticket machine at the Cercanías station where you depart on the day of the ticket or through the manual ticket window (you can also pick up the ticket by scanning the barcode yourself on a machine with a barcode reading device), and then take the Cercanías with the ticket. In stations without ticket machines and ticket windows, you can show it to the ticket inspector after getting on the train or to the station staff before leaving the station. When there are Cercanías at both the departure and arrival stations, you can use the same password to exchange for free tickets in both cities. Free transfers are only available within 3 hours before the departure of the train indicated on the ticket and within 3 hours after arrival at the destination. 14. For tax refund in Barcelona, ​​it is strongly recommended to take the small train to T2 for processing. No need to queue, no need to queue, no need to queue! No matter customs or Blue Link. Blue Link is really good, the service is good and the tax refund is in full without any handling fees. Premier or Taxfree require a boarding pass to get a refund. There is a handling fee for cash refunds, and they only refund US dollars or RMB. The exchange rate is very poor, and it is probably more than 20% less than what you get. There is also a tax refund window after the security check, and it says No comission. I don’t know whether it is true or not. It is definitely recommended to take cash from these two companies. Otherwise, if you can get a refund to a credit card in China, it is considered a high price. Click to learn more about Spain travel.
