A trip to Spain can offer excitement, adventure, or pure relaxation. You can do it all in Spain!
As featured in:
With such diverse geography and cultures, Spain has plenty to offer travelers from all over the globe. As well as unique art and music, there are countless outdoor adventure activities, and a thriving nightlife.
While your trip will usually go off without a hitch, travel insurance is a backup, and even a life saver, if you or your loved ones run into trouble or are sick or injured. It can also save you a lot of money and headaches.
For example, if you’ve arrived in beautiful Barcelona but your checked-in bags have gone missing and are delayed by the carrier for more than 24 hours after your arrival, we’ll reimburse you (up to the benefit limits) to replace your essential clothing and toiletries while you wait for your baggage to be returned. Check out our Help center article on what to do if the airline carrier loses your bags.
With World Nomads you can buy travel insurance as soon as your trip is locked in or while you're traveling (waiting periods apply); it’s entirely up to you.
World Nomads has two plans – Standard and Explorer - which cover an array of activities including mountain biking, skiing, hiking, kayaking, surfing, and scuba diving. We also offer cover for other key events including:
Travel insurance tip: always make sure you’ve done your research on the countries your visiting as there may be US Department of State and local government imposed travel bans or restrictions in place. If you decide to travel to a country on a ‘Do Not Travel’ list your World Nomads policy will not provide cover for the reasons outlined in the warning. The US Department of State (DOS) currently advises against all but essential travel to many countries and territories due to coronavirus (COVID-19) risks. You can look up DOS foreign travel advice here.
While wandering around the beautiful streets of Barcelona, Madrid, Grenada, and Seville can be a dream come true you also need to remain vigilant and keep your valuables in sight. Pickpockets often work in teams of two or more and tend to target money and passports. Remember to keep a photocopy or scanned copy of your passport and other important documents separate somewhere safe. Check out our baggage and valuables travel insurance cover designed for international travellers.
While it has almost become a rite of passage for many travelers to visit Ibiza, Mallorca and Valencia to enjoy the nightlife and festivities, you should always make sure you are in control and don’t go overboard with alcohol and other substances. We want you to have fun but also to be alert to your surroundings. Buy your own drinks and always keep sight of them. Stick with your travel companions, especially at big festivals.
While many visit Spain for the tapas markets, bars, cafes and museums in Spain, there are also adventures to be had off the beaten track. Spain offers any number of outdoor activities and sports. Some great examples include:
Note: always check your Policy Wording carefully to make sure all your chosen activities are covered. You may need to upgrade your level of cover for a specific activity.
The level of coverage you’ll have for any Coronavirus (COVID-19)-related events under our Standard and Explorer plans will depend on your Country of Residence. If you are diagnosed with COVID-19 while traveling around Spain, your benefits may include:
Some of our Explorer plans also offer coverage for some additional COVID-19-related events to assist our travelers, such as cancellation following your diagnosis. Additionally all of our travelers have access to our 24-hour Emergency Assistance Team, who can help you with access to local medical care.
To find out what cover applies to you, read our What’s Covered for Coronavirus article, which has all of the details, including benefit limits, conditions and exclusions.
Check with a medical practitioner regarding the vaccinations you may need – especially if you’re traveling to other countries in addition to Spain – preferably at least eight weeks before you travel. Evidence of vaccination (in the form of a certificate) could be a requirement for entry to some countries. Take some time to learn about any specific health risks in the country(ies) you are visiting.
Our policies aren’t designed to cover everything, so take the time to read the terms, conditions, limitations and exclusions in the policy wording for full details so that there are no surprises if you need to use it. If you’re not sure if something is covered get in touch.
