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.

Graciosa is the smallest inhabited Canary Island: 734 residents, one village (Caleta de Sebo), no airport and dirt tracks instead of roads. It sits 2 km across the channel from Órzola on Lanzarote, so most visitors come as a day trip. A single night buys you empty beaches at dawn and a sunset over the Risco de Famara cliffs.

Watch out

Safety

Very low crime; the real risks are sun, wind, strong currents at Las Conchas and no mobile signal outside the village. Carry water and tell someone your route.
  • Playa de las Conchas has strong Atlantic currents: do not swim there.
  • Water is desalinated and piped from Lanzarote: use it sparingly.
  • Mobile signal exists only in Caleta de Sebo; the rest of the island has none. Finish important calls before the ferry.
  • The Playa del Salado camping area is closed.
  • The Chinijo Museum is temporarily closed: check before you walk there.
