European Union (EU) citizens can travel to Malaga with a valid identification card or a passport. Those from countries outside the EU should inquire about visa requirements at the Spanish Embassy in their country, as Spain is in the Schengen zone.

Travel insurance is important when traveling to any country, including Spain. It could be necessary in case of a medical emergency or the loss of an valuables. Only private insurance is offered in Spain, so we recommend planning this before your trip in your country of origin.
There are not any particular health risks to be concerned about when travelling to Spain. However, it is important to be up-to-date with all vaccines, such as tetanus and hepatitis, which is necessary when travelling to any country. We recommend planning correctly to avoid problems such as dehydration and sunstroke, which is often the most common health problem for tourists.
The currency in Spain is the euro. You can change currency at banks, but most guides suggest you use the local ATMS. You can use the ATM of a bank or other locations throughout more populated areas. Most places also suggest Mastercard, VISA and other major credit cards. However, in rural areas it may be best to take out cash because some places may not accept card. Travellers checks are still used but it is not a convenient choice since lines at banks can often be long.
Spain is in the Central Europe Time Zone. It can be represented as UTC+1:00, meaning that it is one hour ahead of the Universal Coordinated Time.
The national language in Spain is Spanish. However, in popular tourist areas around the coast and in the main cities you will find that many people speak passable English or German.
Be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat, especially if you are travelling in the summer. We also recommend comfortable walking shoes if you plan on exploring by foot. It is also a good idea to bring any medications you may need, as well as painkillers, antibacterial gel and other items that could come in handy in case of an accident or injury.
