As of now, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is not yet operational, and applications are not being accepted. The system is scheduled to become operational in mid-2025, starting six months after the implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES). travel-europe.europa.eu Given that our trip to Barcelona is in August 2025, it's possible that ETIAS requirements will be in effect by then. It's advisable to monitor official updates regarding the ETIAS implementation timeline. Once the system is operational, you should apply for authorization well in advance of your travel dates. travel-europe.europa.eu For the most current information, consult the official ETIAS website. travel-europe.europa.eu
We recommend you start looking at flights soon as the best time to book international flights is approximately 8 months before departure. You can use apps like Hopper & SkyScanner to help assist with booking.

There are multiple hotels in Callella de Parafrugell. We have found 2 hotel choices outlined below.
