Outfitting a 13-year-old for independent travel to Spain this summer

My uncle, who lives in Madrid, has very generously offered to fly our 13-year-old son over to Spain to spend three weeks with them this summer. How should he pack and what should he expect?

He will be in Spain for three weeks, from late June through mid-July. He'll be spending most of his time in Madrid, but will have a visit to Dénia during his stay.

Our main questions are:

  • What should he expect at Madrid airport (customs, etc)? He's going to be dropped off at the gate in Philadelphia by me, and met at the Madrid airport by my uncle and his wife.

  • What kind of clothes should he pack, both for weather conditions and cultural expectations?

  • He's too young to have a debit card: what suggestions does the hive mind have for dealing with money while he's there?

  • What's early teen culture like in Madrid?

  • If you have or know a 13-year-old boy in Spain, what do they consider the apex of awesome?


Thanks!
