Spain tours & holidays

Generally, you will not need a visa to travel to Spain for up to 90 days. Some citizens of a select few nationalities may need to obtain a Schengen visa before travelling to Spain. For more information, please visit the government of Spain’s website or the Essential Trip Information. 

If you are from a Schengen visa-exempt country, you must still abide by the entry requirements of the EU country you are entering. To enter Spain, you may need: 

• A passport issued within the past ten years 

• A passport valid for three months after your date of departure from the EU 

• Proof of accommodation and sufficient funds 

• Proof of onward or exit travel

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. Your travel insurance details will be recorded by your leader on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is very much an essential and necessary part of every journey.

Internet access is good in Spain. Internet cafes and wi-fi hotspots are easily found in most cities and major towns. In some very remote and rural areas, access can be patchy, but this is improving.

Mobile phone coverage is generally very good in Spain. If you want to use your mobile phone, purchase a local sim or ensure global roaming is activated before you arrive (but be aware of the fees this may incur).

Flushable, Western-style toilets are the standard in Spain. Be aware that public toilets aren’t as common in Spain as they are in some other countries and you often have to pay to use them. Be sure to carry change to avoid being caught short when it's time to go!
