In Bilbao, for example, the average temperature varies from 49 degrees F in January to 70 in August. For an overview of temperaturesthroughout the year in some of Spain's cities, see GeographyIQ . For current Spanish Weather, see the Weather Underground . Spain - Transportation Spain is served by an extensive rail system. See our railmap for the major routes and train information. There is no national bus service in Spain. Many small cities in Spain have access to the larger cities through a local bus system. Routes and Timetables for the local busses are found at bus stations and stops. You can buy a ticket on the bus or in advance from tobacco shops (estancos). The two largest Bus companies serving Spain are Autocares Julia and Eurolines . Spain - Eating in Spanish Restaurants In the summer,Spanish eating habits can be dauntingfor the tourist, especially one just arriving from overseas. Lunch and dinner are served later here than in the rest of Europe, restaurants often opening as late as 3pm for lunch and 8 or 9pm for dinner. Many restaurants in metropolitan areas have started to cater to the overseas crowd and offer continuous opening hours. The traditional remedy for the lateness of meals was to eat small plates called tapas at bars that were open all day, either as a way to keep hunger away until the restaurants opened or to make a whole meal out of appetizers--not a bad wayto go. Bellying up to a Tapas bar is a great way to meet people. Many travelers report not finding enough vegetables in restaurants to keep them happy. This is not the case when you eat meals in people's homes--it's a quirk of the restaurant system. See Eating in Spain for more. Dont expect to find No Smoking sections in restaurants or bars. Tipping in Spanish Restaurants Meals includea service charge, but tipping is common. 10% is a substantial tip. Accommodations in Spain Spain has a wide range of accommodations. There are usually hotels near train stations, somebudget, a few seedy. You may inspect a hotel before committing to it. Hotels in spain are classified by stars according to their facilities and not necessarily their charm. For more on the hotel rating system, see our article: Hotels and their Star Ratings . An excellent glossary of Spanish Accommodation terms is found on John Ross' Spain and Portugal for Visitors Site . Language in Spain The language spoken in Spain is Spanish. However, there are variants spoken that include Euskara, spoken in the basque regions; Catalan, spoken in parts of Spain, Andorra, France and Sardinia; Galician, and other languages. An excellent discussion of these is provided by Gerald Erichsen in his article: Spain'sLinguistic Diversity . Foreign Languages for the Tourist gives a list of resources for learning just enough language to get along. Page two of that article is an account of going to language school in Perugia, Italy. I recommend undertaking such an experience in Spain if you're interested in the Spanish language and people. There is a good list of Spanish Language Schools here . Currency in Spain Spain uses the Euro--Symbol . At the time the Euro came into use, its value was setto 166.386 Spanish Pesetas. [ more on the Euro ] Spain - Siesta! The siesta period is from 1:30 to 4:30. Stores close but restaurants stay open in the lateafternoon, closing usually at 4:30. From James Martin , Your Guide to Europe for Visitors . FREE Newsletter.
