The European country is among the most popular in the world

Spain is one of the most visited countries in the world. From bustling city life in Madrid and Barcelona to stunning beaches along the Mediterranean coast, Spain offers something for every type of traveller.

The country is easily accessible from many parts of the world, and its tourism sector offers a range of options to suit different budgets. In 2024, Spain was the second most visited country in the world, recording around 94 million international tourists from around the globe.

In Spain, tourists and residents must be aware of and adhere to various laws and regulations, including those related to traffic, noise, public spaces, and more. Failure to comply can result in fines, legal trouble, or other penalties.

While English is spoken in tourist areas, learning some basic Spanish phrases can be helpful for your trip. The Foreign Office has shared information for British people heading to the popular European holiday destination.

The rules surrounding personal ID are important in Spain. The Foreign Office says: “You must provide photo ID if asked by a police officer.

“This includes the Guardia Civil and national, regional and local police forces. The police have the right to hold you at a police station until they have confirmed your identity.

“Ignoring direct requests of a police officer can be considered as ‘disobedience’, which is a criminal offence.”

You may also need to show ID when when buying goods with credit or debit cards. Some shops will accept your driving licence or a copy of your passport, but some may ask for your passport.

Hotels, tourist accommodation and car rental companies have a legal duty to register passports and other details of tourists who check in or collect a vehicle.

Under Article 4 of Organic Law 4/2000, everyone in Spain, including citizens, EU nationals, and foreign visitors must carry valid ID at all times. If you’re stopped by police and can’t produce ID immediately, you risk detention and fines.

If you choose to travel, research your destinations and get appropriate travel insurance. Insurance should cover your itinerary, planned activities and expenses in an emergency.

Spain follows Schengen area rules. This means your passport must have a ‘date of issue’ less than 10 years before the date you arrive – if you renewed your passport before October 2018, it may have a date of issue that is more than 10 years ago.

It must also have an ‘expiry date’ at least three months after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area (the expiry date does not need to be within 10 years of the date of issue).

You will be denied entry if you do not have a valid travel document or try to use a passport that has been reported lost or stolen.
