Spain's Valencia to have direct flight to Montreal in Canada this summer
A new transatlantic flight route will soon link Spain's third main city with Montreal in Canada.
For the first time in 13 years, Valencia's Manises airport will have a connection to the other side of the Atlantic.
The service will be run by Air Transat and judging by schedules online, it will fly on Saturdays.
The eastern Spanish city has not had an transatlantic flight since 2012, when its connection with New York was scrapped.
The new route, which will operate weekly from 21st June 2025, strengthens the airline's offering in Spain, which already serves Canada from Barcelona, Madrid and Málaga.
'The addition of this route to our summer schedule, an exclusive, non-stop route to the Americas, demonstrates our commitment to offering unique and diversified travel options,' said Sebastian Ponce, Transat's Chief Revenue Officer. "It allows us to further develop our presence in the Spanish market and offer even more opportunities to discover Canada.'
The Local has checked pricing via Air Transat's website for flights booked three months ahead, with return flights starting at around 710 for basic packages. Prices via flight comparison websites could be cheaper.
Montreal will be one of the more than 100 destinations that will be operated from Valencia airport over summer 2025.
Currently, people in Valencia can catch direct flights to a number of European countries, Morocco and Algeria as well as Türkiye.
Some of Valencia's other new flight routes in 2025 include the two weekly Play flights to Reykjavik in Iceland, a new SAS flight to Copenhagen (Denmark) and one to Oslo (Norway) operated by Norwegian.
EasyJet will strengthen its connectivity with Amsterdam (Netherlands) with two weekly flights, while Ryanair will add Pescara (Italy) and Poznan (Poland) to its network with two weekly flights each to and from Valencia.
Dan Air will join the network with three weekly flights to Bucharest (Romania) and finally Canary airline Binter launched flights to Gran Canaria and Tenerife in April.

The ultimate guide to tea drinking in Spain
It's no secret that British people love their tea, so what about when they move to Spain or when they're here on holiday – where can they get their classic morning cuppa? Of course, it's not just Brits that consume great amounts of tea, it's popular with the Irish, Turks, Moroccans, Pakistanis, the Japanese, Chinese, Kenyans and New Zealanders, among many others. So what about the Spanish and their té (tea) consumption? Traditionally Spain is a nation of coffee drinkers rather than tea. This is evidenced by the fact that kettles are very rare here, even in hotels. You're much more likely to find a coffee maker by your bedside. If Spaniards want to make tea at home, they'll typically use the microwave or just heat water up in a saucepan instead. And though hotels give you tea sachets, many expect you to use hot water from the coffee makers, so that you get that lovely hint of coffee in your tea! The Spanish in fact drink more herbal and fruit teas, which they call infusiones, rather than black teas with milk. This will typically be for health reasons in order to help with digestion, sleep, or stomach aches for example, but having said that most bars and cafes around the country will several different types of tea. Typically, the most common teas found in cafes here are menta poleo (mint), mazanilla (camomile), green and maybe red or black. You can often order South African rooibos in many places too as well as frutas del bosque (fruits of the forest). Most of these are available in supermarkets too. There are also herbolarios (literally herb shops)in many Spanish cities, which serve tea blends made from various herbs and spices to help with certain ailments. And what about when it comes to classic English breakfast though? Generally you won't find proper British-style tea – breakfast, builders or otherwise in traditional cafes and bars. It's likely to be Lipton or similar, and often served with a slice of lemon instead of milk. Top tip - if you ask for your tea ' con leche ' or with milk though, be careful as many places will simply make your tea with hot milk instead of water – sacrilege for the British! Make sure you ask for ' una gota de leche ' or a drop of milk to get it the way you're used to having it at home. Many modern cafes or brunch spots in Spain's large cities will offer even more varieties including chai, ginger and other popular mixes and are more likely to know the British style of drinking breakfast teas too. And if you go to El Corte Inglés you can find even more including Tetley's and Yorkshire Tea. Large hypermarkets in Spain such as Carrefour will generally stock a fairly wide variety of teas. Photo: Christophe Simon/AFP There are also specialised British supermarkets in most big cities in Spain which sell imported teas from back home, although at a slightly higher price. If you're into your healthy and herbal teas, American brand Yogi Tea which has many Indian Ayurvedic blends is also available in most health food stores in Spain, as well as Carrefour. When it comes to other types of teas, the availability and interest in them is rapidly increasing in Spain, particularly when it comes to Asian teas. Bonsai Coffee & Matcha, Matcha Crew BCN and Usagui. Of course there are many places to buy Asian teas in Spain's big cities too such as San Wei Tea Culture & Store, Lungch'ang Tea Store in Madrid and Tétere and Fresh Chinese and Tea and Tea House in Barcelona. Most big cities in Spain including Valencia, Málaga and Seville will also have specialised tea shops and several come up if you do a search on Google. While these may not have your English breakfast style they will likely have many fruit and herbal teas, as well as some Asian style offerings too.

What are the rules for unmarried couples applying for Spain's non-lucrative visa?
The non-lucrative visa or NLV is a residency authorisation that allows non-EU foreigners to live in Spain without working or carrying out professional activities, by demonstrating that they have sufficient financial means for themselves and their family members. It's one of the most popular residency options for non-EU citizens to be able to live in Spain, particularly for retirees who can use their pensions as financial proof. The visa is valid for one year but can be renewed for a further two years after that. To be eligible you need private health insurance, a clear criminal record and finances to support yourself from passive income such as rent from abroad, pensions or savings. The visa allows you to bring family members with you providing you have the financial means to support them. This means 400 percent of the IPREM for you, plus 100 percent of the IPREM for each family member. In 2025, this equals a minimum of €2,400 per month, plus an extra €600 per month for each family member you bring with you. If you're thinking about bringing family, it's important to understand exactly what the Spanish authorities define family members as being for the purpose of this visa. For example, do they allow unmarried couples to apply together? The simple answer is yes, you can apply as a couple if you're married or if you're unmarried. The immigration regulations state that they will consider 'a stable partner, who is not registered as married in any public registry'. They do however, have one main requirement, which is that you must "prove cohabitation of at least one year" prior to your application. This means that you will be required to show documents with both of your names registered at the same address dating back at least one year. What proof can I provide? If you're married you can obviously provide your marriage certificate as proof of your relationship, but if not here's what you may need to show: Rental contracts Property deeds A joint bank account Utility bills in both of your names Be aware that you may be need to provide proof of all of these, depending on the consulate you apply from and your situation. If you have children together, however, the regulation states that you only have to prove cohabitation, without a minimum period of time. This could be proven with birth certificates with both you and your partners names on. In practice, it can be slightly trickier than this to apply as an unmarried couple, and it seems to completely depend on which country and even which consulate you're applying from. Members of the Spanish NLV Facebook page seem to suggest that applying from UK consulates is a lot easier than applying from US consulates, for example. One member said 'Myself and my partner successfully applied jointly and aren't married. We went through Manchester. They wanted to see proof of address from both of us, bank statements, utility bills that showed that we already lived together'. Another member applying from the US though said 'Miami rejected a common law marriage document that I had clients try to use, and they were told only registered Spanish unmarried partnerships count'. On the other hand, the Spanish Consulate in New York seems to allow unmarried couples to apply stating on its website - 'Documents constituting proof of family relationship with the applicant accrediting financial means: birth or marriage certificates issued by the civil registry, certificate of registration as an unmarried couple or any other document substantiating an unmarried partnership with the applicant'. Your best option is to contact the consulate in advance and ask them what type of proof they need if you're not married. This way you can be organised and get all the paperwork in advance. You may want to also contact other applicants who applied from the same consulate as you and see what documents they had to show. Those with children together though had an even easier time with less documentation to prove. As mentioned this can usually be proven via birth certificates. What if I'm in a same sex partnership? The good news is that Spain fully recognises same-sex marriages and civil partnerships for residency and visa purposes. Even if you are not married, according to law firm Abogado Extranjería Madrid, you can still prove a relationship through evidence such as shared financial commitments and testimonies. In this way, under Spanish law, you'll be treated the same as any other heterosexual couples. Other family members that count for the NLV are minor sons or daughters who are not married or who have not formed their own family unit, or those of the applicant or their spouse, registered partner, or stable partner. Adult sons or daughters of the applicant or their spouse, registered partner, or stable partner can also be included provided they have a disability that requires support or are proven to be dependent due to their health condition.

Tenerife airport chaos strengthens case for Brits' e-gate access in Spain
Several UK tabloids recently reported how on May 26th hundreds of British holidaymakers faced "third-world', 'inhumane' and "cattle-like" conditions at Tenerife South Airport. As four UK flights landed in quick succession, a bottleneck formed at passport control which meant passengers queued for more than two hours in stifling and overcrowded airport lounges. Travellers complained that only two booths were manned for hundreds of British visitors, as well as speaking out about the 'claustrophobic' conditions and no access to toilets. The problems were reported to have been made worse by the fact that children were unable to use e-gates to check their passports. Rosa Dávila, president of Tenerife's Council, called an emergency meeting after the incident saying that chaos and long queues have become a common problem at the airport during peak tourist periods. Dávila called the situation 'unacceptable' and blamed Madrid for failing to provide sufficient immigration officers to the Canary island since Brexit. 'This is a structural issue,' she explained. We can't continue to operate with the same staffing levels we had pre-Brexit'. The incident strengthens the case for Britons to be able to use e-gates in Spain - without the need for a passport stamp - as soon as possible, in order to avoid repeats and potential crushes at passport control. Spain is one of only a handful of EU countries already allowing limited e-gate access for UK citizens, but only at selected airports. Even then, they often still require a passport stamp, despite their passport also being processed automatically. During the recent UK-EU 'reset' talks, the UK and the European Commission promised to "continue their exchanges on smooth border management for the benefit of their citizens, including the potential use of e-gates where appropriate". They stated that "there will be no legal barriers to e-gates use for British nationals travelling to and from the European Union member states after the introduction of the European Union Entry/Exit System". This means that it's likely that UK citizens will not have access to e-gates until the introduction of the new EES (Entry/Exit System), which scheduled for later this year in October 2025. "After that it's up to the member states. But this gives us the possibility, I'd say the probability, that people will be able to use the e-gates in future, which is not a possibility at the moment," Cabinet Office minister Pat McFadden told the BBC. Unfortunately, this won't help the situation this summer when thousands of Brits will be descending on Spain for their annual holidays, with the potential to cause chaos at even more airports across the country, not just in Tenerife. Spain has long been a favourite holiday destination for British tourists and the Spain-UK route is one of the busiest flight routes in the world. Spain received more than 17.5 million British holidaymakers during the first 11 months of 2024. There are also over 400,000 UK nationals officially registered as living in Spain according to Spain's National Institute of Statistics (INE) data from 2024. Recent events at Tenerife South Airport highlight the recurring problems that come about since barriers were put in up between two countries linked together by more than 200 daily flights. Even though granting British travellers access to all Spanish airports' e-gates seems like a feasible way to reduce these Brexit-fuelled holdups, there are fears that the implementation of the EES across the EU in October will also cause chaos before the system is running smoothly. However, once EES is fully operational, and queues for passport stamps are no longer necessary, it's possible that scenes such as that at Tenerife South will be a thing of the past.
