Barcelona
Barcelona is an incredible city. As the second largest city in Spain and also the capital of Cataluña, it can be a bewildering experience for a person visiting for the first time. A car hire in Barcelona is usually unnecessary as the Bus Turistic service caters to all but the most independent tourist. It enables travellers to visit most of the interesting locations in central Barcelona .
A traveler can forego a car hire Barcelona airport and opt for a taxi instead. Once you're in the city, a stroll down the famous La Rambla is definitely in order. This is one of the city's oldest areas and is replete with urban artists and flowers. Public transport is excellent, so getting from one neighborhood to another doesn't pose many problems.
However, one of the best ways to appreciate the city especially its Gothic quarter is to go on foot. C ar Hire Barcelona is usually an unfeasible idea given the intimidating traffic conditions of the city. You're there for a holiday after all, so you shouldn't have to worry about fighting for space on the road with Spain 's infamous motorists! The lack of parking spaces and stringent traffic control may also make driving a real nightmare for a new visitor.
If you intend to travel out of Barcelona though, then you might want to consider checking out the car hire at Barcelona airport when you arrive. You must always carry an EU driver's license or an international driver's permit if you want to drive while you're in Spain . The possibility of being stopped by police also means that you should have all relevant and valid insurance documents with you when you're driving.
Aside from booking a car early to get a good price, you should also examine the condition of the car before you accept it. In accordance with local traffic rules, the car should also contain reflective vests for passengers to wear if the car is stopped by the highway, a set of spare light bulbs, two warning triangles and a spare tire. Make sure to brush up on your defensive driving skills before visiting. Poor road signage on most roads, narrow lanes and myriad junctions means you have to stay alert in order to avoid accidents.
