Travel Tips

The best time to visit is spring through early autumn for warm weather. Pack light clothing with layers for cooler evenings. Respect local customs and greet people with a friendly “hola.” Carry some cash as not all places accept cards. Stay hydrated and use sun protection. Safety is good but remain vigilant in crowded areas. Learning basic Spanish phrases enhances the experience.
