Do shops really close for siesta?
In general, shops close 2–5 pm, particularly in small towns and villages. The exceptions are supermarkets and large department stores, which tend to be open 9 am–9 pm in the centre of Madrid and Barcelona, and stores at major resorts, which often stay open all day.
Can I get dinner at 7 pm, or do I really have to wait until the Spanish eat at 9 pm?
If you really can't wait, head for the most touristic part of town; there you should be able to find bars and cafés that will serve meals at any time of day. But it won't be nearly as good as the food the Spaniards are eating a couple of hours later. You might be better off just dining on tapas.
What is the transportation like in Spain?
Walking around the colourful streets of Spanish cities and towns is the best way to get to know Spain and its inhabitants. Public transport is safe, reliable and available from 6:00 PM to 1:00 AM. Taxis also are readily available in all major cities of Spain. You should know that most taxis do not accept credit cards yet. They only accept cash in the form of the Euro.
