| Great Value Car Rental Guide! Rental Precautions:
You must have held a driving license for at least one year, and you need the original Chinese mainland driving license + a sworn Spanish translation.
When picking up the car, please bring an international credit card under the name of the main driver for the vehicle deposit pre-authorization, and the cardholder's name must match the main driver's name.
The international credit card must be a physical card; electronic cards, virtual cards, and cashback cards (Bonus+/ Cash Rewards, etc.) are not supported.
Local fuel prices are approximately 13.01 RMB/liter.
Vehicles in Spain drive on the right side of the road, the same as in mainland China.
In Spain, if a motor vehicle does not turn off the engine after parking on the side of the road for more than 60 seconds, the owner will be fined 100 euros. The same fine applies if the engine is not turned off during severe traffic jams on highways.
Be careful to distinguish between gasoline and diesel; gasoline pumps are often green, while diesel pumps are usually black. Do not fill up with the wrong fuel.
In Spain, roadside parking is generally divided by color, into white, blue, and green parking spaces. White spaces are free; blue spaces are time-limited and paid; green spaces are only for local residents or specific groups. Illegal parking fines are about 100 euros.
Parking fees in Spanish cities are comparable to those in China, about 2-4 euros per hour. All-day parking is cheaper, between 10-20 euros. The payment method for parking is self-service, accepting cash or chip international credit cards.

The ticket for Nagong is too difficult to set. The fixed time that was set at the beginning was not issued, and the direct refund was given. The supplier who followed up the order was still full and timely. I got the ticket for the day. The Alhambra Palace is really shocking. The last castle of the Moors.
It is worth going and shocking. Especially when the sun is shining, several courtyards are worth staying. If you have a fancy refrigerator, you must buy it. The quality is very high. After this village, there is no store and you don't go back. There is no such quality and style outside.
talking about La Alhambra makes me think of memories of Alhambra! the musical piece and the palace are both so mysterious! the rhythm is so deeply rooted in my mind so as La Alhambra! it was a shame that I didn’t have enough time to explore the palace in detail and I wish I would go back to visit it again someday!
The viewing platform of the ancient city of Granada can see the whole view of the Alhambra, and it feels like history is emerging... The Alhambra is the famous Forbidden City in Spain, the palace of the Emil of Granada, established by the medieval Moors in Spain. The Moorish heritage of all the monuments of Spain, known as the "City of the Palace" and "Wonder of the World", was built during the reign of King Ahmar and his successors in the 13th century. The Alhambra, Henelarif and Albasing, which have been preserved in the medieval Granada region, were added to the World Heritage List in 1984 as a cultural heritage and expanded in 1994.
Very worth seeing the palace, it is better to know the background information before coming. The palace is luxurious and the garden is spotless. Very well maintained. Have the opportunity to see the book of Washington Irvine, it should be more conducive to visiting. In honor of Shengton Irvine, there is also an American HOTEL nearby, you can also see
As a person who has read dozens of related papers and reported on the paper, it was shocking when he came in person, and he especially liked the palace, which was more vivid and lively than other palaces. Compared with the paper/picture/video, in addition to the visual experience (cloud/water/mountain/city/gong/flower/grass/tree/person), there are three other senses: hearing (wind/rain/quan/person), touch (breeze/drizzle), smell (flower fragrance), etc. Overall good value for money, especially when a ticket is difficult to find on holidays. The customer service is also very friendly. When I was accidentally trapped in the mountain path the day before, I actively helped contact the local guide and provide various contact information for rescue. Thank you very much. It is not recommended to go hiking on the mountain where the palace is located when the weather may be worse. In particular, avoid going to the north slope, which can be found from the topographic map is very steep, and the wind valley is further north, in addition to a river separated from the road.
