The Spanish rail system was once the saddest in Western Europe. No more. The country's prosperity since representative government was restored under King Juan Carlos has included upgrading both track and rolling stock. Based on the French TVG, Spain's trains are now among the world's best.'Best' includes the cars, the schedules, and on-time arrivals. Super-fast AVE trains run from central Madrid to central Sevilla, for example, every hour -- and some on the half-hour -- from early morning to late night, covering the 510 kilometer (300+ mile) distance in a scant two and a half hours.Food and drink are available on most trains and are complimentary in 'club' (or 'preferente') class. An October 2009 menu in the Madrid-Sevilla AVE train included: salad and rolls, tartlet of potato stuffed with egg sauce, and roast pork loin, with a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Holders...
I had good experiences taking buses around Andalucia. It's cheap and relatively fast. The buses are clean and comfortable now. Make sure to take a "Directo" bus between cities to avoid frequent stops in villages.
We booked our Spain vacation through Conquest Vacations. I believe this is the first time we have flown AIR FRANCE. We were both impressed with the service, though I do think we paid too much. It was $1023.00 plus 208.00 Taxes CDN. The flight was Toronto - Paris - Malaga. The plane from Toronto to Paris was new and very impressive. Little TV screens were at each seat, and the seats were actually comfortable. The meals were quite good and they had a good beverage service.Upon arrival in Malaga a Conquest Vacations representative met us outside the baggage claim and brought us the waiting driver who took us to our Hotel In Torremolinos.
If you fly into Madrid and are planning to change planes make sure you give yourself plenty of time to navigate the airport. If you are coming from the international terminal and are flying to another Spanish location you must take a tram to a different terminal, which doesn’t look too different from the terminal you just left. Make sure that if you aren’t fluent in Spanish that you have a good phrase book because even the help desk personnel don’t want to be too specific in their responses. Also the gates sometimes aren’t listed early enough on the message boards and then you find yourself running great distances to get to the gate in a timely manner. Another tram ride is then required to get you from the departure gate to the plane out on the tarmac.:) For a sleep deprived Blond, this was all a little too much for me to handle in under an hour, and the battered soccer player who was...
We flew to Spain with Iberia more than once. And it was always OK. But the time we went to Seville and had to transfer in Madrid was quit a story.Originally we should have 30 minutes to get from gate to gate. But as our plane was 30 minutes delayed at the start in Amsterdam it was just going to the gate. Luckely we already had a boarding card with gate D66. Stepping of the plane we looked at a screen to be certain there was no change in that. And although it was time to board already our flight was not on the screen......... This got us thinking !!We went to D66 nevertheless. But no flight to Seville there. Another info screen here showed our flight. Gate E70, but it had a 1 hour delay. So no problem we had all the time in the world to walk all the way to gate E70. Indeed there it was on the board, but delayed at least 1 hour. Maybe we should walk around a little? Just stretching our...
Spain has a modern (though not intensive) highways net, connecting the main cities.Most of the highways are free, though there are some in wich you have to pay, specially in the north. For prices on those, look at the webpage shown below.In the web http://www.dgt.es you can check how are the main roads and highway in Spain, though I'm afraid is in spanish only.There are highways to go from France to Madrid, from Madrid to Sevilla, from Nadrid to Valencia...
An International Drivers License is not necessary in all cases. Many foreign driving licenses are recognized in Spain under reciprocal agreements, including all EU licenses. In the case of the US, States are responsible to conclude such agreements with foreign countries, so it will depend on the State that issued your DL to determine whether it is valid or not in Spain. In practice, most traffic policemen will not know whether your license is valid or not. If you have your passport with you and prove that you are just visiting, they will normally let you go without further questions. If they suspect you are a Spanish resident, and you don't have a Spanish license, they will fine you. As stated above, if the possibility of being stopped makes you feel uneasy, get an IDl and take it all the time with your passport.
