Catalonia Travel Advice

Best time to go to Catalonia

Summers in Catalonia are typically Spanish. That means warm, sunny days and comfortable evenings. Daily highs tend to be in the 30s, although sea breezes along the coast stop things from getting uncomfortable. Rainfall is rare at this time of year, except in the valleys of the Pyrenees to the north of the region. Spring and autumn are good times to visit this part of Spain. You can expect a bit more rain – the average monthly precipitation is a couple of inches – but temperatures are still range between the mid-teens and the mid-20s.

Passports & Visas

British citizens don’t need a visa to enter Spain but must have a valid passport. You can check your passport’s valid for Spain using our handy tool. For the most up-to-date passport and visa info, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements.

Don't forget to arrange your travel money and insurance before you go.

Health & Safety

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. If you’re travelling to the EU and you apply for a card now, you'll get a new UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) instead of an EHIC. This entitles you to emergency medical treatment on the same terms as Spanish nationals. It won’t, however, cover you for medical repatriation, ongoing medical treatment or non-urgent treatment. Visit www.nhs.uk/ehic for full details on what it covers. You do not need to apply for a GHIC if you already have an EHIC. Your EHIC remains valid in the EU until it expires. An EHIC or GHIC is free of charge. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/health
