You could travel alone, in convoy or perhaps you could share the driving and cost with a friend or another therapist/s. 

In the past many therapist have explored cities such as Barcelona, Valencia, Toulouse, Paris, Santander, and Bilbao all as part of their journey to or from Ibiza.

What will I need for my journey?

It is very important that you comply with the legislation of the country you are driving.

It’s compulsory to carry the following in Spain at all times:

  • Spare wheel – and the tools to change a wheel, or a tyre repair kit.
  • Warning triangle – one is compulsory but it’s recommended to carry two as you could be fined for only using one in an accident or breakdown situation.
  • Reflective jacket – Anyone getting out of the vehicle on a motorway, main road or any other busy road must wear a reflective jacket. The jacket should be kept in the passenger compartment.
