How to prepare for a holiday to Spain?
If you go on holiday to Spain, there are of course a few preparations that you have to make. Consider, for example, taking out good travel insurance or checking in time whether your passport and driving license are still valid for the duration of your holiday. If you go by car, a small service before you leave is advisable, so that things such as your oil level, etc. are in order.
It is also important to pack the right things on holiday to Spain, but that will not be much different than in other countries. And try to learn a bit of the language so that you can better cope with everything you do. In general, not much English is spoken unless you are staying on the busy tourist shores.
If you do speak a little Spanish, then translating Spanish can be very difficult. If for whatever reason you come into contact with authorities, for example, such as the police or a doctor. If there is an insurance issue, it may be necessary to have a certified document translated by an external party. Make sure you know in advance where to go.
However, don't let such practicalities stop you from choosing Spain and surprise yourself with this large and very versatile country! Buen viaje!
