• Currency and payments: The official currency is the Algerian dinar (DZD). Credit cards are not always accepted, so it's advisable to carry cash. Exchange currency only at banks or authorized places.
  
• Internal transport: In cities like Algiers, you will find metro, buses, and taxis. For longer distances, there are intercity trains and domestic flights. It is recommended to agree on the taxi fare before starting the trip.
  
• Plugs and voltage: The plugs are type C and F, the same as in Spain. The voltage is 230 V, so you don’t need an adapter.
  
• Local customs: The locals are friendly and welcoming. It's advisable to dress respectfully, especially outside major cities. Greeting and showing courtesy in shops or restaurants is always appreciated.
  
• Safety and health: Travel with medical insurance and drink bottled water if you are not used to the local water. Health care is available, especially in urban areas, but it's a good idea to have additional coverage.
