Traveling to and Within Spain
Overview
This guide provides insights into traveling to and around Spain, covering flights, rail, road travel, and ferry services.
Introduction to Spain
Situated in southwestern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, mainland Spain also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands in the Atlantic, near Morocco. Additionally, it holds two enclaves, Melilla and Ceuta, on the African continent.
Beyond the Beaches
Spain is famous for its stunning coastlines and islands, but it offers much more for the independent traveler eager to explore its diverse culture and landscapes.
Getting to Spain
Spain features 31 airports on the mainland serving cities like Barcelona, Madrid, and Valencia. The Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands, including destinations like Tenerife and Mallorca, also have airports. Gibraltar, a British territory, offers flights via British Airways and Monarch from the UK. Budget airlines frequently offer affordable flights to Spain, with some return tickets under 100 Euros.
Traveling Within Spain
By Air
While Spain is well-connected by air, domestic flights can be pricey, except for some budget options.
By Road
Spain is accessible by road from Portugal and France. Many roads have been upgraded with EU support, though some remain of lower quality. Several bus companies provide extensive service between major towns and cities, alongside local buses.
By Rail
Spain boasts an efficient train network connecting with Portugal and France, and offering fast, affordable travel between its towns and cities. Both Madrid and Barcelona have extensive metro systems.
By Ferry
Ferries connect the mainland with island groups and Moroccan enclaves. The Canary Islands are accessible via a long, often rough, ferry ride from Cadiz. It might be more comfortable to fly, despite the cost. Ferries also operate between Tarifa and Algeciras to Tangier in Morocco, and between Cueta, Tarifa, Algeciras, and Malaga. Melilla is connected to Malaga and Almeria, while the Balearic Islands have ferry services to Barcelona, Valencia, and Denia.
