Spain Tourism: NEW Fees & Stricter Data Controls
We all know Spain is a top spot for year-round getaways, from the Canary Islands to Barcelona. But with its popularity comes overtourism, and recently, there have even been protests aimed at tourists.
Now, new rules are introduced with the aim of battling overtourism.
Stricter rules are coming in for Spain travelers, including more data control and higher tourist taxes. In 2025, fees in Barcelona will hike to up to €15 (approx. $16) per night when including the additional municipal surcharges, depending on where you stay.
Spain has already tightened its entry rules for tourists, with new regulations aimed at better controlling arrivals and their movements for security reasons.
At passport control, visitors (even just for one-day) may need to show:
A return or onward ticket
Proof of your travel insurance
Proof that you have enough money for your stay
A hotel booking confirmation or proof of address if you’re staying at your own property
An invitation or proof of address if staying with a third party, friends or family
