Travel
The roads are generally good
and the fastest routes, which are the freeways or autopistas.
National highways are identified by the prefix N, while regional highways have
the prefix C. These are usually in good condition. Roads without a route prefix
may be in poor condition. Finca de Lara Bell is located less than 15
minutes off the motorway, in a rural quiet area off a country lane, access
by car from the airports is very easy.
Safety belts are compulsory,
as are a set of replacement light bulbs. The speed limits are as follows:
120km/h (74.5mph) on motorways, 100km/h (62mph) on highways, 90km/h (55mph) on
other roads, and 60km/h (37mph) in built-up areas.
A visitor's national driving
license is acceptable as long as it is accompanied by a translation stamped by a
Spanish consulate. An international driving license is recommended.

Bus Travel
An extensive network of bus
routes reaches even remote villages. Bus travel is generally cheaper than train
travel, but this depends on how direct the route taken is. Bus timetables are
usually available at tourist offices.
Train Travel
The rail system is fairly
efficient, although trains regularly run late and the fare system is very
complicated. Regional trains are cheap and slow, but the express trains are
quite a lot more expensive. Reservations are a must, although they do not always
seem to guarantee a seat.
Europrail International is a leading source of European railpasses.
Both Barcelona and Madrid have efficient underground systems which are usually cheaper than the local buses.
