LOCATE
Use our LOCATE service to tell us where you're travelling in Spain so our embassy and crisis staff can provide better assistance in an emergency.
It's also worth registering if you are a British resident in Spain.
It only takes a few minutes to register online and the local British embassy will know you’re coming. There's no need to contact them directly.
