Some general travel tips for travelling to Europe

28/10/2021

0 Comments

 
Here are a few general travel tips for when traveling to Europe 
  • ensure your passport has at least 6 months left on it 
  • Don't forget your/van/Vehicle will need a UK sticker on it (in some countries as I understand even if it has it on the number plate)
  • It is worth noting with the expectation of Ireland that Europe drive on the other side of the road to the UK, so be sure when walking and crossing the road to look in the other direction to what you would in the UK first  
  • Be sure to make sure that your breakdown cover , covers where your travelling to when outside the UK
  • Many European country require you to carry your passport on you when out and about 
  • Don't forget speed and distance in Europe is measured in Kilometres 
  • It is worth noting that some Spanish toll booths don't like some UK debit cards , so have cash (notes and coins ready) (not all Spanish toll roads now charge at all (but toll roads are the ones that say ap on the signs )
  • It is always where possible handy to know a few basic phrases for where your travelling to even if just for example the likes of Hola 
  • Be careful with your change as some coins look very similar to the Euro but are not legal tender in the Euro zone (for example the pound coin looks a bit like the euro at a quick glance )
  • (hopefully you never need to use this one )Be familiar with where your travelling to in Europe emergency number in many cases it is 112 



​
Here are just a few quick tips I will add a few more soon 
And feel free to comment with your suggestions

Part 2 SPAIN AND BRITAIN TWO SIMILAR YET VASTLY DIFFERENT COUNTRIES ?

1/4/2019

0 Comments

 
Spain and Britain two similar yet vastly different countries ?

As we all know every country is different from each other and exploring those differences can be part of the fun of living in a new country like Spain(this is part 2 of the difference and similarity's series of blogs on the UK and Spain)

Differences
Dates
One big difference is the day events are marked here in Spain to in the UK 
For example:
Father's day (Dia Del Padre ) in Spain is on the 19th March where in the UK it is 16th June (in 2019 anyway )
Mother's day (Dia Del Madre ) is also marked on a different day in Spain it is 5th May and the UK it was Yesterday (in 2019  31/03)

And even April fool's day is different as while Spain has it's own version it is not held on the 1st April but instead 28th December and is called The Day of the Holy Innocents (Día de los Santos Inocentet ) Which relates to a biblical event 

And as mentioned before the celebrate the main day of Christmas on 3 kings day which in 2020 is the 6th January (that is the red day as like in the UK on some occasions if a public holiday falls on a Sunday they move the Red day to Monday however unlike the UK if a Red day falls during the week the day does not move )
​
Things you think are different but only kind of are
A good example of this is the main emergency number in Spain as in many other European countries is 112 however will in the UK it is 999 so at first glance that is a difference however if you dial 112 in the UK you will get though to the emergency service hence been in this section.
​
Similarities

Well there are plenty as I covered in the previous blog entry on this topic, so I will try to avoid re-mention any I have previously mentioned. 

Well in Spain the Vauxhall is called the Opel (like in the rest of Europe ) we have the same models of it and various other car makes as well (I know this is very obvious but I thought I would start on an easy one as I covered quite a few in the Part 1 )

landscape Here are a few pictures from our latest trip we have just done (next due out 23rd November (fully booked ) and again out on 12 December return leg is the 15th December ​europeanrelocationservices.weebly.com/upcomingroute.html

So the van left our base here in Turre Spain and headed into France to load taking us though a new route in the Pryness then on to the New Galloway area ( Loch Dee) to unload in some stunning Scottish landscape then onto Galsheils via the lovely A701 the scenic route to Edinburgh passing various waterfalls and a loch a quick load and onto England via A68 then to the ferry in Dover and via France back to Spain 

One of the great things about routes like this is passing though great scenery, and for example in France many roundabouts on our route have some form of sculpture including an aircraft in tours, the pictured fishman catching a fish and just before you start climbing properly land gear on a round about
