Transport
Getting There & Away
Spain is one of Europe's top destinations and is well linked to other European coun-
tries by air, rail and road. Regular car ferries and hydrofoils run to and from Mo-
rocco, and there are ferry links to the UK, Italy, the Canary Islands and Algeria.
Flights, tours and rail tickets can be booked online at www.lonelyplanet.com/

ENTERING SPAIN
Immigration and customs checks usually involve a minimum of fuss, although there
are exceptions.
Your vehicle could be searched on arrival from Andorra. Spanish customs look
out for contraband duty-free products destined for illegal resale in Spain. The same
generally goes on arrival from Morocco or the Spanish North African enclaves of
Ceuta and Melilla. In this case the search is for controlled substances. Expect long
delays at these borders, especially in summer.
PASSPORT
Citizens of the 27 European Union (EU) member states and Switzerland can travel
to Spain with their national identity card alone. If such countries do not issue ID
cards - as in the UK - travellers must carry a full valid passport. All other nationalit-
ies must have a full valid passport.

By law you are supposed to carry your passport or ID card with you at all times.
