Visa

To enter Spain, you need to be in possession of an official travel document. Your travel documents (passport, ID card if coming from an EU Member State, or other) need to be valid for the whole stay in Italy.

Before travelling consult the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Italy website to check if you need a visa to enter.

Sustainable ways to travel

At ENCATC we encourage travels that minimize carbon footprint. This commitment is part of our green policy and our Shift eco-label certification. There is no genius solution for a sustainable and slow travel but please consider alternatives whenever possible.

In case you travel to Spain by car you might want to connect with other ENCATC members attending the 2025 Congress from your vicinity for a potential carpool. In case of flying, consider a direct connection (if available), which has a lower carbon emission than a flight with a change-over. Walking, cycling, or public transportation should be used for travel within Barcelona.
