You first decided to go to the Iberian Peninsula, the country of luxurious beaches, delicious food and unique flavor. The natural question that every traveler asks is what to bring to Spain?
In order to make the holiday pleasant, without wasting money, in this article we will consider what is useful to you, going on a vacation.
Of course, the most important thing is money and documents:
- Identity card - passports of Russian citizens, just in case.
- Passport with a current, valid visa. It is prudent to make copies of them and take pictures on the phones. You never know what can happen on the road.
- Insurance policy for the entire stay. Also take a photo so that the serial number is visible. Confirmation of hotel reservation or other accommodation.
- If you plan to rent a car, do not forget your driver's license.
- Cash in euros, because you will have to change dollars on arrival, and this time and loss in the difference rate. Exchange in advance the necessary currency in Russia.
- A bank card will also be appropriate if you do not plan to make shopping or large purchases. In advance, ask your bank what percentage will be for cash withdrawals in another country and when calculating the store. Usually everywhere there is a commission and a percentage for the conversion.
Therefore, if you often travel, get a currency card, then when calculating in a restaurant, shop, cash withdrawals at certain ATMs, you will not incur additional expenses.
How much to take? This is already individual. You can roughly estimate the amount you need. If you are traveling with children, then take the calculations seriously.
WARDROBE ITEMS
You will want to collect as many beautiful things as possible, especially for women. Do not do this, take only the most necessary.
As practice shows, much of what is in the suitcase just does not fit.
Carrying weight is also not very comfortable, especially if you are traveling without a travel agency, but on your own. On the road, it is completely inconvenient to carry numerous bags and suitcases, especially if there are transfers.
The downside is that you will have to pay an additional fare for the advantage at the airport, an approximate fare of 50 euros.
If, suddenly, there is a dire need for any thing, buy right on the spot. In Europe, prices are much more affordable and the choice is more varied. For example, in outlet stores, shoes and clothes are much cheaper than in Russia.
Any experienced traveler will surely tell you, the fewer things, the better. Many cost 1 large bag for two. Then the ticket is cheaper and less worn.
SAMPLE LIST OF CLOTHES:
Of course, everything is at your discretion and taste, but a few T-shirts and tops will not hurt you.
- Beach and city shorts.
- Jeans or pants.

Shoes in luggage take up a lot of space, so we do not recommend taking a lot.

- When traveling in the sunny season - April-October, one cannot do without sun creams and emulsions, with SPF protection of at least 30-50. In summer the temperature reaches + 38-40 degrees and above. Burn for a couple of hours, even in the evening is easy. Buy a cream with a water-repellent effect, you do not have to constantly apply it after bathing. Do not neglect this advice, especially when traveling with children. Their delicate skin needs maximum protection from the sun.
- Beach bag or backpack. The size is individual, the main thing is to fit the necessary accessories.
- Wide brim hats, caps, baseball caps and hats.
- Sunglasses.
- Beach towels, bedspreads and an umbrella. Since the lounge chairs at the box are not cheap. Approximately 10-15 euros per day. With their bedding come many European tourists. Moreover, those who rest on clean sand do not experience any discomfort. Buy an umbrella and bedspread right on the beach, but it will be at a price a bit more expensive than Russian prices.
- Grab an inflatable pillow, it takes up little space, but is very functional. Float on it in the sea and use it on the shore.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
In the rules of airlines there are restrictions on the transport of liquids, pay attention to this. Go to the website of the company whose tickets you purchased and check the rate. All of this is really available in any Spanish town, especially since the quality of products is much higher than Russian. Often, our tourists, in addition to souvenirs, bring a strategic supply of good care products.
If the plane does not feed or you do not want to spend money on food. Take a croissant, dryer, or chocolates with you. In the plane it is expensive and tasteless. A sandwich from 8, and a salad will cost from 10 to 15 euros.
We do not recommend girls to use foundation on the beach; let the skin rest from makeup. It is better to use more moisturizers for face and body. The hot sun is very dry lips, because hygienic lipstick or special protective, will be the way.
Nail polish is also superfluous, your nails will be strengthened under the influence of sea water, will make them strong and healthy.
Eyeliner, blush, mascara (waterproof), perfume - take a small volume. It may come in handy in the evening.
