Moving around in Spain - transportation

Spain is a modern country with highly developed infrastructure. Here you can find practically all the possible means of transportation that tourists can use to travel within the country.

The airports have domestic flights, which allow you to reach the necessary cities in a short time. This is especially true for traveling to the islands.
