•  Visa.  For certain nationalities, a valid visa is required.  The nationalities needing visa are listed here.  If you will be needing a Schengen visa, please contact your travel agent or Spanish Embassy in your country to know the procedure and requirements.  Our host will be providing an invitation letter when needed
