Stay well protected during your trip to Spain
Although Spain is a safe holiday destination, there are some health measures you can take to avoid getting sick on holiday anyway. Tick-borne encephalitis and Lyme disease can occur in certain natural areas, especially in the north and along the Spanish border. Therefore, wear covering clothes, use insect repellent and check yourself for ticks after walks in nature.
In addition, high temperatures in summer can lead to dehydration or sunstroke. As Dutch people, we are not used to Spanish temperatures. Therefore, drink enough water, use sunscreen with a good factor and seek shade during the hottest hours of the day.
