Fotos 2ª Gran Fiesta de la Bicicleta Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 1. Going on a trip, you should definitely bring warm clothes with you. It will certainly come in handy to those who hope to go walking in the evening and to make trips to other parts of the island. In winter, you should definitely take an umbrella, because rain can start suddenly.
2. Those who expect to have a rest in prestigious restaurants and casinos are sure to bring some elegant clothing with them. Visitors in untidy or extravagant outfit can be denied service in some upscale places.
3. Going to some religious sites, be sure to choose the right clothes. Knees and arms have to be covered; women should also cover their head with a shawl.
4. While relaxing on the beach, don’t neglect means of protection. Sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat with a wide brim will be particularly relevant in first days of rest. The period from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm is considered to be the most unfavorable time to stay on the beach.
5. Those who expect to explore natural attractions have to worry about means of protection against insects. Despite the fact that they aren’t carriers of dangerous diseases, their bites are quite painful and can become a nuisance. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
6. All beaches of the resort are free, but visitors have to pay for equipment rental. It’s better to buy umbrellas and lounge chairs at one of the local markets, if you are staying on the island as a family and expect to spend every day on the beach.
7. It’s better to make calls to other countries from payphones, which can be found next to government offices and shopping complexes. Calls from the hotel would be the most expensive ones.

8. Prices for tobacco products are quite high on the island, so it’s better to stock it up in advance. Smoking in public places is prohibited; special areas next to major shops and restaurants are set aside for smokers. Violation of this rule is followed by a heavy fine, so it is worth paying attention to prohibitory signs.
9. In order not to aggravate the acclimatization process, refrain from drinking tap water. It’s better to purchase bottled water, which is sold in all supermarkets and grocery stores. Malaise may also occur in those who love cocktails with ice.

Spain: travelling advices

3. If you rent a car, you should be very careful. Spaniards do not always follow the rules of the road; they are in no hurry and are quite unpredictable while driving. They often forget to turn the signal while switching lanes.
4. Spaniards are sociable people. They are not accustomed to ride in the subway or bus in silence. There are stormy discussion of news, politics or even just the weather among unfamiliar people. Tourists, who first encountered such a lively conversation, can easily enter into communication.
5. Spaniards gesticulate very actively and in the process of communication can unconsciously touch the interlocutor with their hands, even if they see a person for the first time. Such gestures do not have any undertone, and therefore it is worth not paying attention to them.
