Changes

English is taught at school, but due some droll shyness, lot’s of Spaniards refuse to speak it. For this reason, most travellers learn at least ''un poquito'' (a little bit) of the Spanish language during their stay. The phrase ''Bas a... ?'' (are you going to... ?) is an excellent starting point.

In Spain, hitching isn’t a very common concept and mostly done by foreigners. Though, the thumb will be understood. Nevertheless, you will find a lot of foreigners in cars from countries where the hitchhiking culture is more developed. You usually have to wait for some time - but those who pick you up at last tend to be really nice. Sometimes you will have to be patient and not just patient for an hour or so. Once, Latindane had to wait 4 hours to get a 300 kilometers ride with lunch included towards Madrid.
