restless asked:
Hi! My family is planning to travel to Lourdes and Barcelona.
Because we are not familiar with Europe, i have several questions.
a) Are there any special customs we should observe? (For eg. Thais do not like someone to pat the heads of their children). We heard that there it is very hot in Barcelona now. Would the locals be offended if we wear shorts in public?

b) We would like to travel to Barcelona from Lourdes. What is the most convenient way to travel to Barcelona from Lourdes? I did some research and the words “renfe” and “eurarail” kept coming up. Are they the same train service? How long does it take to travel to Barcelona from Lourdes?
c) As we are Asian, we do not speak much french and little or no spanish. While we are struggling to learn the basic words, i was wondering if we would face much difficulty (for eg, during the purchase of train tickets or reading the train schedule)
Thanks in advance for all the help!
