Bus

Bus stations (in Spanish Estacion de Autobus) in Spain are available in almost all major cities and resort centers. Bus timetables can be found in travel agencies and bus stations, besides, they are often present in shops and cafes, especially those near the bus stations.

In city buses, it is customary to go through the front door. To exit the stop you need, you first need to notify the driver by pressing the button at the door. The output from the bus is carried out only through the back door. Maps of urban bus routes are available at each stop, which are indicated by yellow-green shields with the inscription "BUS". Red, as a rule, denote routes running through the central regions of cities, and blue in the night buses.

City buses in Spain run from 5:30 to 00:00. The trip is paid directly on the bus: the passenger tells the driver to the destination and the number of people. The driver gives a check, which indicates the cost of the passage. In Spain, all types of urban transport operate united tickets, their cost depends on the number of transport zone intersected. In different cities, our own tariffs, discounts, benefits and travel on various types of transport are installed.

The network of long-distance bus lines binds all corners of Spain and has a high level of service (air conditioning, drying, video equipment). The bus ride is cheaper than by train, and allows you to better get acquainted with the country. Thus, the fare between the most remote cities depending on the season, the day of the week, the time of day and the distance of the trip will not exceed 40-45 euros. In the midst of the tourist season, buses on the main routes are sent with an interval of about once a hour. Tickets can be bought at the ticket office of the bus station or in travel agencies.

Often, the same route serves several buses (depending on the number of tickets sold), which will have to go at the same time. Therefore, it is worth checking the bus number specified in your ticket (Coche (Autobus) No. ...), with a room on the windshield. Intercity bus routes that are serviced by many operators can be planned on.

The subway is in such major cities as Madrid, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bValencia, Bilbao, Alicante, Malaga, Palma de Mallorca, Seville.

In all cities, the principle of the subway is about the same. The Metro of Spain, as a rule, is divided into transport areas, and payment will be charged accordingly - the more zones crosses the passenger during the trip, the higher the fare (from 1.50 euros). Metro tickets are disposable and reusable, they also apply to other public transport in cities. The ticket must be kept until the end of the trip.

Between Spain and Africa there is also a regular ferry message - automotive and passenger ferries, high-speed boats. So, regular flights are made from Malaga (Spain) to the city of Melilla (Spanish Anclave to Morocco) and Nador. The price of one side ticket - 35-40 euros. From the city of Tarifa (Spain) to Tangier (Morocco), ferry departs 8 times a day. Price - 25-27 euros.

To rent a car, the driver must submit a document certifying the personality, and the driver's license of the international sample. You can order a car in a rolled office, through the administrator in the hotel, in advance via the Internet.

In major cities, such as Barcelona, \u200b\u200bride the car is expensive, and the nerves are better to care. Starting for wrong parking strictly - 85 € and above. Map of roads or navigator is simply necessary - a lot of unilateral movements, turns left less often than turns to the right. To rent a car makes sense if you plan to move from one city to another.

Communication

The state common language of Spain is Spanish (Español, Castellano). Nevertheless, in many parts of Spain they speak in different languages \u200b\u200b(Catalan, Galician, Asturian, Valencian, Balearic, etc.). Some of these languages, according to the 1978 Constitution, are in the respective regions official. With the exception of Basque (the origin of which by the way is not clear) all the languages \u200b\u200bof the Iberian Peninsula are associated with the Romanesque language group, they are quite easy to understand if you know the Castilian (classic Spanish) well. If you are a little learn local languages, it will help you to locate local residents.

Catalan. A separate language similar to Castile, but closer to the Osk branch of Romanesque languages, is considered by many as part of the Dialectric Continuum of Spain, France and Italy, includes other Languedoc languages, such as Provence, Bearna, Limuzen, Overns and Nice. On a variety of dialects they speak North-East of Catalonia, on the Balearic Islands, in Valencia, in the east of Aragon, in neighboring Andorra and Southern France. Catalansky's random listener will seem among the average between Spanish and French, although he combining the features of both languages, forms an absolutely separate language.

Galician. Very closely connected with Portuguese, in Galician they speak Galicia and in the western part of the Asturia. Galician has developed before Portuguese, it is considered one of the four main dialects of the Galician-Portuguese group, which includes Brazilian, South Portuguese, Central Portuguese and Galician languages.

Basque. A language that is not associated with Castille (or any other famous language), there are three provinces in the Basque Country, in two neighboring provinces on the French side of the French-Spanish border and in Navarre. Basque is not connected with any Romanesque language or with any other language of Indo-European or Indo-Iranian language family. Currently, it is not amenable to classification and is considered a linguistic isolate, which seems to be not connected with any linguistic tree language.

Asturian. It is spoken in the province of Asturias, where he is under semi-official protection. It can also be found in rural areas of Leon, Samora, Salamanca, in some villages of Portugal (where he is called Mirandes) and in the villages in the very north of Extremadura. Although the Constitution of Spain is spent the right to use Basquesky, Balearo-Catalan-Valencia under the unified name of Catalan, Galician and Spanish, Asturias, such rights does not possess such a law. But the province of Asturias enjoys them as an official, and the state does not object.

Aragon. It is spoken in the north of Aragon. Its existence is recognized, but the official language of the province is not (as of June 2008). This language is close to Catalan (especially in Benasque) and to Castilian with some influence of the Basque and Oksky (South France). To date, only a few villages near Pirineev are spoken at Pure Aragon, while the majority of the population in everyday speech use a mixture of Aragon with Castilian.

Aranian. It is spoken in the Aran Valley, and it is considered one of the official languages \u200b\u200bof Catalonia (but not Spain) along with Catalan and Spanish. This language is a Gasconian version and is very closely associated with Provence, Limuzen, Languedok and Catalonia.

In addition, English and French are usually explored in Spain's schools. If you come to some tourist center, then you will meet people, fluently speaking in several languages. But in other places you are unlikely to see this: most of the Spaniards speak in English quite badly. In this case, it is better to contact urban youth. Speak slowly, use simple words, feel free to use gestures, drawings or writing - if the word is written, more chances that you will understand.

In the north-east of Spain, many understand French, sometimes even better than English, because most tourists in this region are visiting France. Local residents will appreciate any of your attempts to express in the local language. For example, attempts to say "Good morning" or "Thank you."
