Spain attractions and Travel Tips

All you need to know about Car Rental in Spain

With its rich history, Spain is a fascinating large country in Southern Europe. Each area of this beautiful country offers visitors something completely different: Metropolitan cities, rustic towns, lively beaches, and quaint harbors are all appealing to visitors. From Bilbao on the northern coast to Cadiz in the south, there are wonderful sights to see and an exciting history to encounter. With around 195,000 square miles to explore, a rental car in Spain is the easiest way to get around. 

Great towns and cities to visit

Whatever region you plan to visit, book the best car hire in Spain to make the most of these incredible places:

  • Madrid is the capital city and is located in the center of the country. The Royal Palace, the Prado Art Museum, and the Plaza Mayor are the sights not to be missed.
  • Barcelona on the east coast is lively and packed with sights, such as Sagrada Familia Cathedral, Gaudi’s architecture, and the Gothic Quarter.
  • A stunning cathedral, the Alcazar, and a historical bullring draw visitors to Seville in the south of Spain.

*** 

Tip: Cash is king in Spain. Don’t expect to be able to pay for food, drinks, or taxis by card – most smaller establishments only accept cash. If you only spend a small amount in a place, such as a few euros for a drink, it’s frowned upon to use a large bill to pay, so make sure you have a ready supply of smaller notes in your wallet. Of course, when it comes to rental cars in Spain, credit cards are welcome at HAPPYCAR.

Try some delicious tapas!

Tapas is a small snack eaten alongside a drink of coffee, beer, or wine. Traditionally served after work and before dinner, they are casual dishes that you must experience while in Spain. A Pincho is a ‘taste’ and is usually a bowl of salty olives or fried potatoes. Tapas can be items such as croquettes, shrimp (gambas), octopus, roasted peppers, or oily fish. Order three or four and try the specialties of the region. These snacks will keep you going until the main meal at 9 or 10 o’clock when Spaniards sit down for their dinner. Low-cost car hire in Spain helps you get from one part of town to the other, so you can sample local tapas in more than one café.

The best Spanish beaches

The Costas attract tourists from far and wide. There’s something for everyone, and they’re all easily accessible with cheap car hire in Spain. In the north, the Costa Brava has pine-tree backed sand and family-friendly beaches like Calella and Tossa del Mar. Costa Blanca offers more lively beaches, such as Benidorm, Punta Prima, and Alicante, where there are lots of restaurants and clubs. If you're flying into the south, pick up cheap car rentals at Málaga Airport AGP and be on the sand in Marbella in around 35 minutes. Tarifa Beach along the Costa de la Luz has a casual vibe and is ideal for windsurfing.

Spanish festivals throughout the year

Car hire in Spain can take you to the biggest and most famous festivals. La Tomatina takes place in the town of Buñol. Held at the end of August, participants throw ripe tomatoes at each other. The bull-running festival occurs in the winding streets of Pamplona during July. La Merce festival is Barcelona’s biggest event, which happens in September. The celebrations include fireworks, live music, and the Castellers, men standing on each other’s shoulders to make human towers. Use HAPPYCAR to get the cheapest car hire in Spain to take part in all the festivals.
