Overview
- The 2025–26 programme offers 879,213 subsidised places across peninsular coast (440,284), islands (228,142) and short breaks (210,787), with reference prices from €132.91 to €564.72 depending on duration and transport.
- Sales follow a staggered calendar: first communities opened on 6 October and the rest on 8 October, with priority windows for higher‑scoring ‘preferente’ applicants before other accredited users.
- New measures include 7,447 places at a flat €50 for the lowest‑income pensioners and the first pet‑friendly option on coastal trips, with 2% of relevant lots set aside for animals up to 10 kg including carrier.
- Bookings require the mailed four‑digit accreditation code plus DNI via the operators’ portals (Turismo Social/Ávoris and UTE Mundicolor) or at authorised agencies, with a 20% deposit at reservation and final payment due 45 days before departure.
- Travel agencies report heavy demand with queues and expected website congestion, some dates already fully booked, and operators have loaded expanded logistics such as more than 50 Imserso charter flights from Vigo using Iberojet, Smartwings and Air Nostrum.
