Why you need Tailored Spain Travel Insurance for your Spanish Adventure
Spain is a diverse country, with the culture, food, and even the language changing depending on where you find yourself. For peace of mind, you’ll want to be protected against many common travel problems. Just Travel Cover can offer you cover against medical treatment including treatment for a pre-existing medical condition, accidents, lost baggage, and theft while you’re away on your Spanish getaway. We aim to provide specialist cover for those of all ages, including those over the age of 65 and with pre-existing medical conditions. We compare policies and prices on your behalf and show you policies that best match your travel needs so you can relax and enjoy your holiday.
Things to consider before your Spanish departure
Whether it is your first time visiting Spain, or you’re a frequent guest, we have created a list of travel tips to help you make the most of your Spanish fiesta. When planning your trip, don’t forget to secure your Travel Insurance for Spain.
Late-night living
Spanish nightlife tends to be much later than in the UK; food is not rushed, and the Spanish take this opportunity to socialise and enjoy time with their loved ones. Dinner doesn’t usually start until about 9 pm, and a relaxed meal out can last until midnight. As a result of siestas, late nights are part of Spanish culture.
Spaniards don’t just speak Spanish
While Castillian Spanish is the official language of Spain, there are ten major Spanish dialects within the country. In popular areas like Barcelona or Costa Brava, you will hear Catalan. If you’re a first-time visitor or planning to learn the language, it can take you by surprise and make understanding Spanish a little more difficult. We recommend learning Castilian Spanish phrases, as many understand the language.
Take a look at our 13 must-know phrases for your next visit to Spain to further your knowledge.
Try the regional food
Many travellers are familiar with Spain’s most famous dishes, like paella, chorizo, or Iberico ham, but with such diversity in their regional/local dishes, there is something new to try wherever you visit. Travel to the peaks of the Pyrenees for a taste of Chilindron (Spanish Stew), or venture to Aragon, one of Spain’s lesser-known regions, to indulge in Cordero Asado (lamb roast). Remember, if you suffer from any food allergies, you should declare these on your Travel Insurance Spain policy for peace of mind while you enjoy your travels.
Go Island hopping
Deciding between one of the four main Balearic Islands is hard, so why not visit them all? Local island ferries, as well as ferries from the Spanish mainland, make it incredibly easy to hop from island to island. Valencia, Barcelona and Denia are the three major ports visitors can leave from. Although, those who would rather travel by air can take flights from any part of Europe to Mallorca, Ibiza and Menorca.

What should be included in my Travel Insurance for Spain?
Before you travel to Spain, you should buy a Travel Insurance policy that provides cover for your specific travel and health needs.
From 1st January 2021, healthcare arrangements for UK travellers visiting EU countries changed. The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) is a replacement for the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). It can be used by UK residents when they are on holiday in any EU country for State-provided emergency healthcare. It is available until your EHIC expires. EHIC and GHIC do not offer cover for everything. For example, repatriation and airlift rescues aren’t included. So you should buy Spain Travel Insurance with medical cover to ensure comprehensive protection too.
