Than I like children-Spaniards - in any deaf village, not speaking about city, is tourist office (and you as wanted, they on tourists earn, the approach - thorough, state), it is noted by the white letter “I” on a dark blue background. To find simply - follow guide signs with this sign, find the scheme of city on a crossroads or a bus stop or look round at the basic sights. In these boothes absolutely free of charge (!) You receive the scheme of city, the guidebook on city (if will carry, in Russian) and if ask also a motoring map (by default it do not give). Employees, as a rule, speak in English, and in reasonable limits in other languages (Russian while a rarity), is frequent on schemes mark your site and draw the most successful route on city. The motoring map of Catalonia in Spanish sounds approximately as ” mala Kataluniya “. Cards excellent, fresh, all roads are noted, other cards and will not be necessary for you, if will not gather for limits of Spain.
For independent excursions I advise to get hold of guidebooks (if will not find in shops, for Catalonia in general and Barcelona in particular, it is possible to find in a network and to unpack, quite tolerably and digestibly). Most and it was necessary to make. Urgently it is recommended to get a phrase book and to remember even numerals in Spanish and a phrase ” Excuse, I do not understand “.
If go in “Boix-mar”, do not forget shampoo, a hair drier and an iron. Plank beds, umbrellas give on a beach (and that, and that another - somewhere on 3 Euros), is easier (and is cheaper) to buy rugs and umbrellas in shop (if want, can take home to Russia, at the airport of problems with umbrellas will not be). Seldom who even from Europeans uses hire on a beach.
