Getting to Spain -General Info
A member of the European Union and one of the states to have signed the
Schengen Agreement, Spain invites 50 million of tourists a year to
explore its sightseeings
and attractions. Getting
to Spain
is easy and comfortable no matter where you depart from. Moreover,
citizens of other EU states do not need a visa to cross the Spanish
border, which makes getting to Spain even more simple.
There is a great choice of transport means for tourists who travel Spain.
If you come from Portugal, France, Morocco or other countries that are
Spain's direct neighbors then you are most likely to travel Spain by
car, bus or by train. If your homeland is a bit farther away, flying
will be the fastest way to travel Spain.
International airports in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville, Valencia and
other large cities feature regular flights to many of the European
capitals. If you decide to travel Spain in high season, that is,
summer, when the weather
in Spain
is really gorgeous, or around Christmas holidays, take care to book
tickets in advance, as airports can be crowded. On the other hand,
special discount prices can apply during low seasons, so consult your
travel agency as for this kind of offers.
With the entry in the EU railway network as well as the system of
automobile roads has improved radically. Trains in Spain are modern and
reliable, so it is a nice choice to travel Spain unless you need to get
to a small location with no railroad station. This being the case you
shall have to change for a bus. It might be a good option to travel
Spain by train if you are afraid to fly, but on the whole
airline
tickets are usually not much more expensive.
In general it's becoming ever more popular to travel Spain by bus as
this is probably the cheapest way of getting to Spain, though it may be
not as comfortable as the above-mentioned ones, especially if you need
to spend a couple of days on your way. Again, if you choose to travel
Spain in peak season, be ready for traffic jams.
Getting to Spain by ferry is yet another opportunity. Direct routes to
the United Kingdom and Morocco make it possible to travel Spain by
water enjoying the picturesque marine landscapes.
