Travel tips for Spain

Spain offers a wide range of experiences, and to make the most of your trip from Athens, these practical tips will help:

• Climate and luggage: Spain enjoys a Mediterranean climate similar to Greece, especially in the east and south. Depending on the season, light clothing will suffice, with an extra layer for cooler nights or northern regions.
• Currency and payments: Just like in Greece, the official currency is the euro (€). Cards are widely accepted, although having some cash is useful for markets or smaller shops.
• Local transport: Getting around Spain is very easy. Major cities have metro, bus, and suburban train networks. If you plan to explore several regions, high-speed trains or domestic flights are a great option.
• Plugs and voltage: No adaptor needed: Spain uses the same plugs as Greece (type C/F) with 230 V.
• Local customs: Meal times in Spain are later than in Greece. Social life continues late into the night, with lively terraces and cafés.
• Health and safety: Spain is a safe country with a strong public healthcare system. If you’re an EU citizen, bring your European Health Insurance Card to receive medical assistance if needed.
