Most travellers coming from Latin America, or anywhere in the southern hemisphere, are likely to arrive in Europe via Spain. Travellers from Asia can find direct flights from Beijing to Barcelona and Madrid. If you are travelling from another airport in Asia, it’s easiest to fly to any city in central Europe and then get a connecting flight to a Spanish airport.
Like all European airports, Spanish airports have excellent infrastructure and implement effective security measures to ensure a safe and comfortable journey. They also offer a comprehensive range of transport and car hire services, hotels and more.
Once at your destination, the road network, train services and internal flights make it easy to travel around freely so you can enjoy the beauty of Spain to the full.
If you are fond of trains and are planning to visit different parts of Spain, be sure to try the AVE, the cutting-edge Spanish high-speed railway network. It is not just quick – for example, it can take you from central Madrid to the centre of Barcelona and Seville in two and a half hours, to downtown Valencia in one hour and 40 minutes, and to Zaragoza in an hour and 15 minutes – but also extremely comfortable and reliable. Tickets can be booked well in advance and regular special offers are available.
If your priority is price over speed, it may make sense to opt for a coach rather than a train. Several companies run routes all over Spain and to neighbouring countries, the biggest of which is ALSA. The journeys are typically much longer, but significantly cheaper.
