Tourist Information

LOCAL TOURIST OFFICES
All cities and many smaller towns have an oficina de turismo or oficina de informa-
ción turística . In the country's provincial capitals you'll sometimes find more than
one tourist office - one specialising in information on the city alone, the other carry-

have visitor centres offering useful information.
Turespaña ( www.spain.info ) is the country's national tourism body.
