Standard European-pattern round-pinned plugs are used   Weights & Measurement In Spain, the units of weight, measure and distance are governed by the decimal metric system.                         Language Main language is Castellano (Spanish), but there are three main regional languages: Catalan (Catalonia), Euskera (Basque Country) and Gallego (Galicia). Variants of Catalan are spoken in the Valencia region and Balearic Islands. Passports & Visas To enter Spain it is necessary to show a valid passport. For citizens of countries belonging to the European Economic Community, the presentation of a national identification document is sufficient.                         Customs Travellers entering or moving to Spain may transport a series of personal items (such as personal jewellery, cameras, viewfinders, musical instruments, portable video and sound equipment, athletic gear, camping articles, etc) without having to pay customs charges. Upon request, Spanish customs officials will issue receipts to justify the entry into the country of any item. For certain articles, such as cigarettes, cigars, perfume, wines and liquor, maximum limits have been established, with customs fees required on surpassing quantities. There is no limit to the amount of Euros tourists may bring into Spain. Also permitted is the entry of cheques or vouchers issued against foreign accounts in convertible Euro, as are travellers cheques, with no limits. Foreign currency can also be brought into Spain with no limits, both banknotes and coins, providing they are of legal issue.     Currency Exchange Foreign currency can be exchanged for Euro at all banks – open Monday to Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. (except in summer, from June to September, when they close on Saturdays)– as well as at exchange bureaux in the main cities. A good number of hotels will also change money. In addition, traveller’s cheques and leading international credit cards are accepted by most hotels and some restaurants and shops.     Shop opening times Usual shop opening times are 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and 4:30-8 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Major shopping malls, department stores and supermarkets stay open without a break from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. or in some cases until 10 p.m. On a fixed number of Sundays in the year (approximately 12 in all), the large department stores and supermarkets also open to the public.     Nightlife After moving to Spain you can relax and experience the nightlife in Spain, it is in a class of its own particularly from Thursday to Sunday. Pubs, late night haunts (bares de copas) and discotheques normally keep open until 3 or 4 in the morning, and in the major cities, such as Madrid and Barcelona, there are innumerable night-spots that stay open till dawn.     Telephone Service Apart from booths (locutorios), there are the standard street-corner public telephones, from which calls can be made to any part of the world, using Euro coins or phone credit cards which can be bought at all branch post-offices (oficina de correos) and tobacconists (estancos). To phone abroad from Spain, first dial 00 (International) and then dial the country and city codes, and lastly, the subscriber number. Should you wish to place a call to Spain, dial the country code, 34, followed by the local/area code and telephone number. It is important to note that the number to dial for directory information is 1003, a service which will furnish callers with information on all national and international codes. For Emergencies dial 112 from anywhere in Spain. Mail The Spanish Post Office possesses a network of over 6,000 branch offices located around the country (in cities, railway stations, airports and harbours). At any branch post-office, the visitor can send mail, receive correspondence by simply hiring a P.O. Box (Apartado Postal), and send or receive money orders, parcels and any other kind of mail item. Similarly, most branch offices also provide telegram, telex and fax services. In all towns and cities there are corner pillar-boxes (yellow or red) where letters can be posted for collection. In Spain, the sale of postage stamps and bills of exchange, along with cigarettes, cigars and the like, is channelled through shop, moving to Spain isn't as hard as you think.                                               Popular Spanish Destinations Many of our clients moving to Spain have also moved to Alicante Elche Murcia Cartagena Orihuela Jacarilla Torrevieja Benedorm Guardamar Del Segura San Migual Valencia Costa Blanca Costa Almeria Costa Durauda Costa de la Luz Costa Tropical Costa Dorada Costa Calida Costa Azahar Costa Brava Costa Del Sol Jacarilla Guardamar Valencia Perpignan San Pedro Jaen Barcelona San Sebastian Albufeira Porto Portimao Javea Granada Alicante Lagos Bilbao Almeria Motril La Vinuela Fuengirola             We also provide the following services in these areas     top House Removals Part Loads House Clearance Storage Van & Man Hire House Cleaning Packing Materials Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Central London North London North East London East London South East London South London South West London West London North West London Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Central London North London North East London East London South East London South London South West London West London North West London Staffordshire Warwickshire Oxfordshire Berkshire Hampshire Sussex Kent Surrey Essex Hertfordshire Cambridgeshire Bedfordshire Huntingdonshire Buckinghamshire Northamptonshire Leicestershire Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire     Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Central London North London North East London East London South East London South London South West London West London North West London Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Central London North London North East London East London South East London South London South West London West London North West London Cumbria Durham Lancashire Manchester Merseyside Cheshire Derbyshire North Yorkshire West Yorkshire South Yorkshire East Riding Derbyshire Nottinghamshire Lincolnshire Central London North London North East London East London South East London South London South West London West London North West London Staffordshire Warwickshire Oxfordshire Berkshire Hampshire Sussex Kent Surrey Essex Hertfordshire Cambridgeshire Bedfordshire Huntingdonshire Buckinghamshire Northamptonshire Leicestershire                                       Moving to Spain Expats in Spain Insurance How long will it take European f.a.q Language translater Spanish home rentals Holidays in Spain Get a job in Spain Top areas to live in D.I.Y moving to Spain
