The best time to visit Spain is during spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) when the weather is pleasant and there are fewer tourists. Summer is popular for beach destinations but can be very hot, especially in southern Spain.

Spain has an efficient transportation system, including high-speed trains (AVE), buses, and regional trains. Renting a car is a good option for exploring rural areas and smaller towns. Public transport in cities like Madrid and Barcelona is reliable, with metros and buses readily available.

Tipping is not mandatory in Spain, as service charges are usually included in restaurant bills. However, it’s common to leave small tips for good service, such as rounding up the bill or leaving a few euros in restaurants, cafes, or for taxi drivers.

Spain is generally safe for tourists, but like any tourist destination, be cautious of pickpockets, especially in crowded areas. It’s also important to stay hydrated during the hot summer months and follow local health guidelines, especially if there are any travel restrictions.
