Spain: the features of food and transport

Moving to the other country, we want to learn more about the common life, the things we’ll have to face every day. The questions are very simple: what to eat and how to move through the city. What expects you in Spain?

The food in Spain is relatively cheap, even cheaper than in the large Russian cities (even taking into account the chronic price increase). This fact has reasonable explanations.
Spain takes one of the first places in the list of countries, engaging in catching and processing of seafood. Therefore, its price is usually very low. The plant production is also well-developed, which contributes to the emergency of cheap fruits and vegetables on the market.

On the contrary, milk and meat products are imported. It is ironic that at the same time the price for milk products is lower than in Spain. The prices for meat (except for the poultry) are slightly overstated.
The art of wine-making is in Spain, which you will see for yourself. Excellent wine at a reasonable price is a great advantage, especially if you’re a fan of this drink. Besides, the assortment is quite wide.
And what about the transport? Electric trains are a very popular kind of public transport, as it’s cheap and comfortable. It is better to buy the round-trip ticket in advance at the ticket office or in the train car.
As an alternative to the public transport, you can hire a car. It will cost relatively cheap.
The work hours and the cost of taxi vary according to the city. For example, taxi in Barcelona work on meter. To get a taxi costs two euro. After that, two factors are considered- mileage and time. Madrid taxi has a certain price list, where you can find the prices and the distance. Additional services are counted separately. The prices can increase for various reasons: if you leave some zone, at night, on weekends or holidays. The responsibilities of taxi driver include warning the customers in such cases. If you go out of town, you must pay for the trip back.
