Answer 5

I spent two weeks in Spain at the beginning of the year.  Getting around the peninsula is easier than people mightt think.  The train systems run around the country so that is always and nice and easy way to get around.  Even flying within the peninsula migh be cheaper, since the local airline Iberia Air runs all over the country.  For my trip from Granada to Barcelona we took a bus, no different than the Greyhound buses, buy a ticket and you are on your way.
