Current Travel Situation
Luxembourg to Spain: What You Need to Know
Spain is Western Europe's second-largest country (505,990 km2) and the world's second most visited country with over 85 million annual visitors. It has 17 autonomous communities with distinct cultures, languages, and traditions: Catalonia (Barcelona), Basque Country (San Sebastian, Bilbao), Galicia (Santiago de Compostela), and Andalusia (Granada, Seville, Cordoba) each feel like distinct countries. Spain has the second most UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Europe (50) and among the world's best food cultures: tapas, pintxos, paella, tortilla, Rioja wines, and Iberian ham.
How to Get There
Madrid and Barcelona are both served by direct flights from Luxembourg (Iberia, Vueling, Ryanair, Luxair). Barcelona is 6.5 hours by TGV from Luxembourg via Paris. Madrid is 9 hours by train.
Money & Banking
Spain uses the euro (EUR). Spain is moderately affordable: tapas EUR 2-5 each, menu del dia (3-course set lunch) EUR 12-15, hotel rooms EUR 80-180/night. The Balearic and Canary Islands and coastal resorts command higher prices in summer. Spanish wine (Rioja, Ribera del Duero) offers extraordinary value.
Practical Tips
Barcelona: Sagrada Familia (Gaudi's masterpiece, still under construction since 1882), Park Guell, the Gothic Quarter, Picasso Museum, and La Boqueria market. Madrid: the Prado Museum (Velazquez, Goya, El Greco), the Reina Sofia (Guernica), Retiro Park, and the Gran Via. Seville: the Alcazar palace (UNESCO), the Cathedral (world's third largest), and Flamenco shows. The Camino de Santiago pilgrim route attracts thousands of Luxembourgers annually.

What is the difference between tapas and pintxos?
Tapas (Castilian tradition, Madrid, Andalusia) are small dishes ordered individually for a price.

San Sebastian is widely considered one of Europe's great food cities.
