Eco-friendly travel
- Tap water is safe to drink. Bring a refillable bottle.
- Take the train: high-speed AVE lines link Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and more.
- Visit popular places early or off-season: Barcelona and the islands are very crowded in summer.
- Many cities charge a small tourist tax: it helps local services.
- Never leave rubbish on the beach and use the paper/plastic/glass bins (blue, yellow, green).
- Water is precious in Spain: take short showers, especially in summer droughts.
