Most cities in Spain are walkable, especially if you’re staying in the central areas. Everything is within the walking distance, and you will enjoy the locals and plenty of tourists wherever you go. True, sometimes, it can be difficult to walk due to the hot weather and crowd, but you will quickly learn how to get to your location.
However, if you choose to travel by car, that is also a great option. The traffic is generally fine, you shouldn’t have too many problems driving among Spanish people. Still, there are some requirements you need to meet in order to be eligible for driving. First, you need your driver’s license, of course, but you also need to apply for IDP Spain recognizes before your departure. You need to have this document on you whenever you operate a vehicle, so make sure you don’t break the law there.
If you’re attending meetings in one of the conference centers in the city, you may be even using different types of transport, but keep in mind that you will need to pay a fare for any service.
Usually, business trips are short, and a carry-on bag is sufficient but longer business trips often require more than one suitcase. You can save a lot of space using collapsible luggage. Most airlines will charge you extra from the first suitcase and a heavy price for any excess luggage
What when you arrive?
You will probably need some sort of transportation once you arrive in the country, to get you to your hotel. For this purpose, you can use a few different options. The first is to use a ridesharing app, but taxis are also relatively affordable across the whole country. Some taxi companies even offer a flat rate of $30 for trips between the airport and the city.
If you are able to arrange, you can also make a deal with your rent-a-car company to get your car to the airport’s parking lot. This is, probably, the best possible solution, but using some of the superfast trains in the country could also solve your problem.
Dining and Drinking
One of the main advantages of staying in Spain is that you may never go wrong with food. Wherever you go you will probably find something you like to eat, and it will usually be very tasty and cheap. Even fancy restaurants are relatively affordable, but we recommend dining in one of the awesome eateries scattered around the country.
): You will easily find almost any type of cuisine you prefer. Indian, Mexican, Nepali, or straightforward Mediterranean – there is probably a place within a walking distance from your hotel. If you travel from the USA, some cities in Spain can remind you of home for real. It makes you feel like you booked a hotel in Tempe and not Sevilla for example. Don’t hesitate, walk everywhere and explore this beautiful country!
What to do in your Free Time?
Almost every city in Spain is packed with art, history, and cultural sites. You will always find something to do in your free time, especially if you like to spend time outside. Day trips and excursions are organized during the whole day, so you can definitely find some time after your meetings to get familiar with the culture there.
If the day has worn you out, renting a modern serviced apartment in Granada, Valencia, Bilbao and more is easy on sites like Stay Líbere, allowing you to experience the culture through residence.
If you like to merge business with pleasure, you should also try going out after a long day packed with events and meetings. Nightlife is great in Spain and you will definitely enjoy every minute of it!
