1. The first thing you should look for are coupons. Many people forget about them, but the truth is that they can help you save in so many ways. The biggest expense you can get a discount on is actually the trip itself, so make sure to check such sites as Discountrue.com and look for Hotwire deals. The offer may include such treats as a discount on the flight or car rental. There are also multiple occasions when you can save on the accommodation. Either way, just check out the couponing websites and see for yourself!

2. Buy a travel book about Spain. Some might think it’s old fashioned, but any time that you go to a foreign country, it is a good idea to purchase a little travel book that you can carry with you. Not only do they provide a lot of information the most popular areas you should see, they can also help you communicate with the natives thanks to the useful phrases section. They will also often come with a map of the place you’re visiting, so that’s an additional perk. Digital devices can serve that purpose as well, of course, but this way you’re not risking any malfunction or dead battery situation!

3. Unfortunately, travelers checks are rare in Spain, so make sure to consider that fact when you’re planning your budget. There are very few check cashing places and even fewer that will let you use them, so it’s better not to rely on that option. The good news is that there are plenty of banks throughout Spain, including ATMs, that will allow you to get money from your account overseas. So, if you are considering bringing money, you may want to consider carrying cash with you from an exchange station.

4. Bring ample clothing. It doesn’t really matter what time of year it is, you want to pack clothing for both warmer and cooler times. The weather changes very quickly and you may find that you aren’t adequately dressed because of those sudden shifts. Better safe than sorry! Although, in the event that you find yourself lacking some items of clothing, many places offer great prices on clothes for all seasons, so don’t worry too much.

5. Most of all, enjoy yourself! You will strive to prepare for every circumstance when traveling, but unexpected things can still happen. And if they do, make the most of it! So it rains every day you are there – it’s okay. You may never get the chance to go there again, so just enjoy it. Don’t be shy to mingle with other people, and make use of all the opportunities you can. Find something interesting to do but worry about how others will look at you? Who cares – you’ll probably never see these people again!
