Rules in force · 9Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window…
- Europe ↗Non-EU visitors get 90 days in any rolling 180-day window, counted across all 29 Schengen states together — not per country; the Entry/Exit System now logs each crossing, so an overstay is detected automatically.
- Europe ↗On the first Schengen entry since EES began, non-EU travellers give four fingerprints and a face photo at the border instead of a passport stamp; there is nothing to apply for or pay in advance.
- Iberia ↗Plan meals on the Iberian clock: Spanish kitchens serve lunch from about 13:30–14:00 and dinner from 20:30–21:00; Portugal eats an hour or so earlier. Early evenings are for tapas or petiscos, not full meals.
- Iberia ↗Inland Spain and Portugal (Seville, Córdoba, Madrid, the Alentejo) pass 40 °C in heatwaves from late June to August: sightsee before 11:00 and after 18:00, and keep July–August for the coasts and the green north.
- Iberia ↗Andorra and Gibraltar have their own border and customs rules and are reached only through Spain (or France for Andorra); read their pages before adding them, especially if you hold a limited Schengen visa.
- Spain ↗Spain is in the Schengen area. Check the entry rules for your passport on official sources; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers non-EU visitors at the first Schengen border, and further pre-travel authorisation rules are being introduced.
- Spain ↗High-speed trains have airport-style baggage screening at the station and boarding gates that close a few minutes before departure: arrive early.
- Spain ↗Carry your passport or ID: police may ask for it, and hotels must register every guest's document.
- Spain ↗The Alhambra in Granada and the Sagrada Família in Barcelona sell timed tickets that sell out weeks ahead in season; book on the official sites before you fix your dates.
Lloret de Mar is a resort town on the Costa Brava, about 70 km northeast of Barcelona, built around a 1.6 km town beach and a strip of bars that runs late. It is the cheapest bed on this coast and the easiest to reach by bus from Barcelona and Girona airports. The trade-off is noise, crowds and a beach that is busier than the coves 3–10 km away. Two or three nights is enough: one for the beach and old town, one for the coastal path or a boat to Tossa, and one for a day trip.

Arrive & move
Airports are listed under At a glance; this is how to move once you are in
Getting around
The centre is walkable; many streets are one-way and pavements are narrow, so cross with care. Five urban bus lines link the bus station with Fenals, Lloret de Dalt, El Molí–El Rieral, Lloret Residencial and Cala Canyelles; single ride €1.35, 10-ride ticket €10.60. Driving in the centre is a bad idea: parking is about €2/hour in the underground lots and fines are enforced. Taxis wait on Carrer d'Oliva near the bus station.
