Having a holiday is one of the biggest favors that you will ever do yourself. This is because there is so much that can be achieved by taking a holiday. You will be able to unwind in a great way as well as get rejuvenated for life. Spain is one of the most fun places to be on holiday. You should however know one or two things before going to Spain.

The most important meal of the day in Spain is lunch. Many shops have actually been known to close for lunch. In areas that are not too busy, a short siesta may follow the lunch. In bigger cities however, shops remain open. Supermarkets and some departmental stores also do not close at all during the day.

Spaniards believe the time for dinner to be 9 p.m. If you feel hungry before this time and cannot wait till 9, look for the areas that are touristy in the area that you are touring. There are cafes and bars in such areas that can serve you meals at all times regardless of the time of day. The food served at nine is far better and you may consider waiting a little longer. You also have the option of having tapas as you drink.

Spain is a member of the EU. The neighboring countries are France and Portugal and they are also members of the same. This means that the borders are open. There are train services that can be used between Spain and some other EU countries. Lisbon and Madrid can be easily connected by train. Another place that can be reached by train is Paris. The costs range from 60€ to 150€ depending on the destination.

For American citizens, a passport that is valid is required so as to be able to enter Morocco. There are ferries that operate in the Tarifa and Tangier area. Gibraltar is also very accessible. Sometimes, you may even opt to use a car to cross borders. The people in the EU nations can visit Spain using any of the means.

When bringing things you have bought in Spain home, you should be very careful so as to be sure that your country actually allows them. It is good to know the legal ones so as to avoid fines and confiscation. In some cases, it is not legal to bring back angulas (eels) and the Iberico ham. Saffron, almonds, cheese, olive oil, paprika and olives are some of the things that you may take home in many countries.
