What to Pack 🧳
- Clothing: With Spain’s diverse climate, it’s crucial to pack for the specific region and season you’ll be visiting. For beach destinations like Costa del Sol, bring your swimsuits, flip-flops, and sunscreen. For city visits to Madrid or Barcelona, pack comfortable shoes, light clothing for daytime, and a light jacket for cooler evenings.
- Power adapter: Spain uses the European Type C and Type F plugs, so don’t forget to bring a universal adapter.
- Travel documents: Your passport, driver’s license, and any other necessary documents, like travel insurance.
- Reusable water bottle: Stay hydrated and eco-friendly! 💧🌿
- Spanish phrasebook or language app: A little Español goes a long way! 📚
