When one travels to Madrid and sees a vehicle with a broken window, the locals joke that this is a gift from Seville.

Bars and restaurants will, more often than not, overcharge you if you are not careful. Be especially aware of taxi fares. They will give you a tour of the city when one is not familiar with the best route to your destination.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17196 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9918 While I was there, my boyfriend was woken up at 3am by someone who said the bed he was in (and paid for) was hers. Obviously, there had been a double booking (in fact there were double bookings every night we were
there). However, during this mix up, the manager had gone into his 'safe' (which is allocated to the bed) and taken out a number of his personal items (which we did not notice until the following day). My boyfriend went to ask for them back and the manager said he had
lost them - but hoped they would turn up. Unfortunately, they did not and to be honest the staff did not really take the matter very seriously; they did not seem to understand why we might be offended that the manager had gone into our ‘safe’. Also, instead of replacing or refunding the cost of his UK electric shaver for example, they suggested they buy him a significantly cheaper Spanish (i.e. incompatible) version. Finally, the manager said he
would return the cost of the items once we could
'prove' how much they cost - after we had left to go home, which left me slightly nervous. This happened over a month ago, and we have just received payment for the items ‘lost’. Not entirely satisfactory to be honest. Thought it was worth sharing…]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9918 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8767
The second main problem is that all those lovely little streets are choked to death with traffic (plus accompanying fumes), with the streets sometimes only inches wider than the vehicles.

Problem number three is the food. If you don't like fish, but you do like vegetables, you'll struggle. Luckily, we all eat meat, but veggies will find it difficult to eat well. We ended up going to French or Italian restaurants (with bored, hungry children, and after about 9pm!)]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8767 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8753 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8753
