Is it the first time you have taken a vacation in Spain? As with any tourist trip, prior planning is recommended to make the stay as pleasant as possible.
The best time to travel to Spain
There are opportunities that you should not miss, and spending a summer in Spain should be an experience to try at least once in a lifetime. Do you prefer the mountains or the beach? Cool climates or the heat? Spain offers a variety of cuisine as wide as the types of vacations you can enjoy there: from southern fish to the most ample northern dishes, moving through the more easily recognized “Spanish tapas”.
In many southern cities in Spain, summer means enduring temperatures of up to 40 °C on the hottest days of the year. Without doubt, heat conditions your trip so it is advisable to think about at what time of the year you want to spend your vacation in Spain.
Do you need a Schengen visa to enter Spain?
This visa is easy to obtain: just contact the destination country (Spain) and comply with a series of necessary requirements.
Health problems during your vacation on Spanish soil
All tourists from the European Union (as well as from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland) have the right to receive medical assistance if they have the European Health Card.
For everyone else, one of the fundamental details before traveling to Spain is to take out medical insurance for travelers that will cover any possible unpleasant eventuality in our country. In fact, a requirement for obtaining the Schengen visa is to have health insurance that covers medical expenses and hospitalizations, among other situations.
