<p> Customs: US citizens are permitted to enter Spain without
visas as temporary visitors for business, tourism, or transit.
Bearers of US diplomatic and official passports must have
appropriate visas regardless of the nature of the visit.
</p>
<p> Climate and clothing: Clothes suitable for the Washington,
DC, climate are recommended. Slacks are worn in public, but no
shorts. Sweaters and raincoats are advisable.
</p>
<p> Health: Sanitary conditions and facilities meet European
standards. Typhoid, typhus, and gamma globulin immunizations
are suggested. Health requirements change; check latest
information.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Local and long-distance telephone
services are readily available. Government telegraph offices
handle all telegrams. Madrid is six time zones ahead of eastern
standard time.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Public transportation is inexpensive and
widely used. Taxis are numerous, and fares are reasonable. Air
and rail facilities serve most cities in Spain, with
connections to major cities in Europe. Rental cars are
available, with or without driver. Major highways are good.
Gasoline prices are among the highest in Europe.
