Resorts in Spain
While in Barcelona, it is impossible not to look at the most famous long-term construction in the world, the brainchild of the great Gaudi, the fantastic Sagrada Familia - Sagrada Familia. Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi turned Barcelona into the garden of his fantasies. Many people call his style modernism, but all the creations of the genius of Gaudi are so original, fabulous and unique that only one definition suggests itself - “Gaudi style”.
The Sagrada Familia became the architect's main project - he devoted 43 years of his life to creating the drawings and supervising the construction of the grandiose temple. According to Gaudi's plan, the temple was to have three facades: the Nativity, the Passion of Christ and the Resurrection. Each facade should be crowned with 4 towers of enormous height - 120 meters each. These 12 towers symbolize the number of apostles. The central tower - 170 meters high - was to be erected to the glory of Jesus. The Sagrada Familia is open to tourists and visitors every day. You can examine the interior decoration of the temple, stained glass windows and stucco moldings, mosaics and frescoes. The average excursion time is 4 hours.
The huge fountain is located on the Montjuic hill in Barcelona. Water cascades occupy 3 thousand square meters, and the main bowl of the fountain in the form of an ellipse is 65 meters long and 59 meters wide. The fountain is a decoration of the architectural ensemble of Plaza de España and the National Palace of Catalonia. 3620 water jets soar to a height of 54 meters. The play of light and color is provided by 120 spotlights, the spectrum of which includes more than 50 colors. Montjuic dances to classical music.
The amazing Park Guell is another brainchild of Antoni Gaudi. Mosaics, mysterious paths, fabulous “gingerbread” houses - all this is Park Güell, a fantastic garden city in Barcelona. On the roof of the columned hall there is a serpentine bench stretching along the perimeter. It is brightly decorated with mosaics and very comfortable - according to the memoirs, Gaudí asked the builder to sit in soft clay to get a cast that followed the contours of the human body.
In Seville, wander through the labyrinth of the Old Town and visit Plaza de España. Among the columns are panels of tiles, each of which depicts one of the Spanish provinces.
In Valencia you need to eat your fill of paella - it was invented here. It is also worth seeing the legendary Holy Grail and the fantastic City of Sciences and Arts at the bottom of a drained river. Knightly Toledo beckons with its castles and olive groves. And in the restaurants of San Sebastian, in the Basque Country, you need to make an appointment six months in advance - the best establishments with Michelin stars are collected here.
In La Coruña, admire the lighthouse, which was built during the Roman Empire. It rises 55 meters above the ground and is still operating successfully.
What is Spain without mills? You can look at the “monster” with which Don Quixote fought on the Hill of Peace.
The Costa del Sol is beaches, beaches and more beaches, as many as 240 kilometers of uninterrupted beaches with luxurious sand. In Malaga, see the world through the eyes of Pablo Picasso, who was born here.
Costa Dorada, "Golden Coast" is the most beautiful Spanish beach resort. Luxurious hotels, clear water and 200 kilometers of golden sand. Families with children like to come here, as in Mallorca: the entrance to the water is gentle, there are no strong waves.
The Costa Brava is famous for its wild nature - rocks and pine trees, a warm sea and a fresh breeze intertwine here into a truly Spanish symphony of relaxation.
The legendary island of Tenerife attracts tourists from all over the world with its amazing beaches with dark volcanic sand.

Precautionary measures
Carry with you identification(a photocopy of the passport is an acceptable and safe option - the main thing is that there is a copy of the pages with the photo and visa, and if this is certified by the hotel, there will be no price!).
It is better to wear bags over your shoulder, otherwise they may be torn off your shoulder by motorcyclists passing by or running along the sidewalk. the thieves.
Valuables and money should not be in the back pocket or external pockets in principle.
When a street artist is formed around crowd, you need to walk past - these are not just spectators, but potential victims of pickpockets.
Baggage. Keep track of your belongings at the airport, especially while loading/unloading suitcases, and the same applies to the moment you arrive at the hotel.
Money. Keep large sums (and valuables) in your room safe or hotel reception. When withdrawing cash from an ATM, make sure that the card acceptor does not have any protrusions, they are not provided, and if an unevenness is detected, the ATM is equipped with a reader and probably a measure for tracking PIN codes. There were cases when a passerby called out to a tourist, paying attention to the “fallen” bill and snatching the card from his hands. Be carefull!
Your vacation will be enjoyable if you also remember solar activity and apply cream to your skin, put a hat on your head, drink water (but only bottled water!) and wash vegetables/fruits.
It is important to know- Siesta c - both myth and truth at the same time. The fact is that in big cities and large tourist centers there is no siesta (with the exception of private shops), which is logical. But in small towns and villages there is no escape from this tradition.

- Medicine in Spain it is paid. But every tourist is required to have insurance with him, the presence of which guarantees free assistance from local doctors. Pharmacies are called “Farmacia” here.

That’s the point, you should go where there are as many locals as possible - they know a lot about “tasty and inexpensive”. Coffee lovers can safely buy this drink even at gas stations - it is good everywhere.
- Tips It is customary to leave it somewhere around 15-20% in cafe bars and 5-10% in restaurants. This is optional, but if everything was wonderful and you even plan to return, please the staff, and they will please you! By the way, guides, maids, receptionists and others like them also expect tips - 50 cents or 1 euro. In a taxi, your bill will simply be rounded up.
- Meal time in Spain differs from our canons. Breakfast is continental, so those who like to eat heavily in the morning may be disappointed. Lunches vary, and dinners are late - around 9 pm. Hot drinks are served only at breakfast (but you are always free to order something separately at your discretion).
- Smoking in crowded places, including public catering establishments, hotels and on beaches.
- Mains voltage 220 volts, in villages you can come across 125 or 110 volts. Sockets are European.

When suddenly the opportunity arises to go abroad, see a new country, places, discover new horizons, you usually immediately begin to pack your things. Very often a situation arises when there is not much time to get ready, let alone study a new direction and the characteristics of another country. And now, sitting on the plane, you are waiting for quick adventures and unforgettable impressions.
A colorful country with friendly and sociable people, interesting culture, history and attractions. Any person who comes to this country will have an indelible impression of the visit. All information is perceived easily and you want to learn more and more. Let's consider a small part of Spain, the so-called country within a country - Catalonia.
Catalonia is considered the most developed region of Spain, the most modern. The capital of Catalonia is Barcelona. It is a beautiful city by the sea with interesting culture and architecture.
Catalonia has three zones of sea coast: in the north, the beach itself with a huge port, from where large cruise ships depart to different parts of the Earth, and in the south of the region.
All beaches in Spain are public. Including, hotels also do not have their own rented areas on the public beach. Beach equipment can rarely be rented anywhere. Sometimes hotels provide this service for an additional fee. Therefore, rule one: it is better to take everything you need with you (umbrella, rug, towel). Or purchase it locally. For example, an umbrella will cost about 8 - 10 euros.
The Costa Brava beach has a wide beach strip, coarse sand and a rather sharp depth at the entrance to the sea. Literally a couple of meters is enough for an adult to have water up to his chest. Only Tossa and Tossa have a gentle entrance in this region.
Costa Dorada, on the contrary, has golden beaches with fine sand and a gentle slope into the sea.
The main difference between regions is in nature. The Costa Brava is a greener region.
If tourists want to combine a seaside holiday with sightseeing, it is better to choose the Costa Brava or Costa Dorada. If you mainly see only Barcelona and swim in the sea a couple of times, then you can check into a city hotel. But there are a lot of locals and tourists in the city, so a holiday on the beach will be noisy and active.
The second rule that a tourist visiting Catalonia for the first time needs to know is the peculiarities of the regions.
Costa Brava is suitable for couples, good swimmers and those who plan to go to the city on excursions in the evenings. Getting from the Costa Brava to Barcelona is faster and more convenient. The main transport is the train. The fare is approximately 10 euros two ways. The ticket is valid for two days. You can buy it at the bus stop, where the cashier usually sits. It is imperative that the ticket must be validated before boarding towards the city, and back upon return in a special machine. You need to remember the third rule: the train runs until 23:00. That is, from Barcelona you need to board it no later than 22:00 in the evening. Otherwise, a taxi can be expensive. The end point of the train from the Costa Brava is the city of Blanes. The only way to get from Lloret de Mar to Barcelona is by bus. To do this you need to drive through a mountain serpentine road.
The Costa Dorada is a universal region and suits absolutely all tourists. Especially for families with children. The train runs throughout the region, deviating slightly from La Pineda. Approximately 2 kilometers.
