The UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued a new travel update for Spain, outlining important changes and safety tips for British travelers. This update includes information on the new EU Entry/Exit System, passport requirements, travel insurance, safety concerns, and advice for specific traveler groups.

As international travel resumes, millions of British tourists are planning to visit Spain. However, travelers are urged to be aware of a potential €200 fine for cycling with earphones. Cycling with earphones is illegal in popular holiday destinations like Spain and France due to safety concerns. Listening to music while cycling impairs a rider’s ability to hear road traffic and reduces awareness of warning signals, increasing the risk of accidents. Tourists are advised to avoid wearing earphones while cycling for their own safety.
The Foreign Office (FO) advises British travelers to Spain to exercise caution with their passports as theft incidents rise. The FO urges tourists to be particularly vigilant at airports, hotels, and car hire points. Losing a passport can significantly disrupt vacation plans, and tourists are advised to renew lost or stolen passports or obtain emergency travel documents promptly. To enhance passport security, travelers are encouraged to avoid leaving their passports at hotel reception for collection and instead request immediate recording or duplication of passport information.
