Travellers in Spain - Useful Links

Government Advice

British Foreign Office Report for Spain
The British Foreign Office website is updated regularly and is well worth a look.

US Foreign Office report for Spain
Obviously this site is more useful to US citizens as it gives full visa requirements etc. However, in the interest of a balanced idea about travelling to Spain, it is always worth checking both the UK and US sites.

Travel Companies

Rail Europe (or, for US users, Rail Europe US)
An excellent, easy to use site selling European travel passes.

RENFE
Alternatively, if you speak Spanish, then you will find cheaper rail tickets at the National Spanish Rail company's own website

Easyjet
Flights from the UK to most Spanish airports.

Other Useful Links

The Traveller's Handbook
This book is mentioned elsewhere on the site, but we really cannot recommend it enough. It contains everything today's traveller could possibly need, including contact information for all of the British, Canadian and US embassies, telephone numbers for airports, climate data and hundreds of interesting articles on subjects as diverse as advice for women travelling alone and advice on how to survive a kidnap. Indispensable.

Regional Travel Guide for Spain
Lots of information on every region in Spain. A very useful site.

Travel Insurance Online
Having searched far and wide for good, value for money travel insurance we finally found this company. They offer very wide range of plans, from basic medical emergency and personal liability insurance to full any-scenario insurance at very low prices. Their site also features full explanations of each type of insurance and a very easy to use quote generator.

The Kids Window - Sun protection gear for children
The Kids Window have a huge selection of sun-protection wear for children, including the lowest-priced baby sunglasses you'll find - you can never be too careful in that hot Spanish sun!
