Hi everyone and seasons greetings I contacted the spanish authorities in Nov 2024 regarding flying my mini 4 pro in northern Spain as I noticed in the Enaire app any flights close to people needed permission from the ministry of interior at least 5 days before the flight The team provided the following information We have some information in English available for foreign users on the AESA website: - [How to fly a UAS in Spain | AESA-Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea - Ministerio de Fomento (seguridadaerea.gob.es)](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/es/ambitos/drones/how-to-fly-a-uas-in-spain) You will be able to find the maps with airspace requirements to plan your flights at: - [ENAIRE Drones](https://drones.enaire.es/?locale=en): you can check the areas in which there are prohibitions or restrictions on the flight of drones, as well as dangerous areas and other alerts. - AIP link: [https://aip.enaire.es/AIP/AIP-en.html](https://aip.enaire.es/AIP/AIP-en.html) Please, pay special attention to the information provided in this document, regarding requirements and limitations of geographical areas (in Spanish language only): - [Guía sobre requisitos y limitaciones al vuelo de UAS en función del lugar de operación (Zonas Geográficas de UAS)](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/sites/default/files/UAS-OPS-DT01_Ed.01_Zonas.geograficas.UAS.del.RDUAS.pdf) Ed.01 In case of urban flights, communication to the Ministry of Interior must be done, with at least 5 days in advance, as described in their website: - [Ministry of Interior | Communication of Remotely Piloted Aircraft (UAS)](https://www.interior.gob.es/opencms/en/servicios-al-ciudadano/comunicacion-operaciones-de-aeronaves-pilotadas-por-control-remoto-uas/) Training of the pilots must be done according to the category of the operation, [Open](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/en/ambitos/drones/operaciones-con-uas-drones/operaciones-con-uas-drones---categoria-abierta-subcategorias-a1-a2-y-a3) or [Specific](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/en/ambitos/drones/operaciones-con-uas-drones/operaciones-con-uas-drones---categoria-especifica) category: - [UAS/Drones remote pilot training | AESA-Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea - Ministerio de Fomento (seguridadaerea.gob.es)](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/en/ambitos/drones/formacion-de-pilotos-a-distancia-uas-drones) Please, find additional information in our website: - [Drones | AESA-Agencia Estatal de Seguridad Aérea - Ministerio de Fomento (seguridadaerea.gob.es)](https://www.seguridadaerea.gob.es/en/ambitos/drones) Trust this is found to be useful I didnt fly in December and I am now more prepared for the information required ---

I’ve never flown in Spain but there are quite a few topics posts / thread’s on the forum worth a read, > [@CarlWare](#): > > I hold a A2 CofC qualification Unfortunately **A2 CofC is not recognised in the EU** Sorry I could be of no more help hopefully someone will come along who may have flown there recent & can shed more light on the subject 👍 This maybe worth a read [Here](https://greyarro.ws/t/flying-your-drone-in-spain/25253/108) I found this is the most recent I could find, > **[Drone Laws in Spain \[Updated September 20, 2024\]](https://drone-laws.com/drone-laws-in-spain/)** > > According to AESA, drones are allowed in Spain, subject to AESA and EASA regulations.

Very useful info. Thanks @Gallego1 It really looks more bother than it’s worth taking a drone to Portugal or Spain. Maybe if it’s work or a project …but just for a casual holiday …what a pain in the rectum ---

@Gallego1 Thanks for the info Can I confirm your understanding for Spain please ? If you have an EASA Operator Registration anywhere in the EU (for me I did it in Cyprus) And a A1/A3 Cerificate (I did it in Luxembourg) And 3rd Party Insurance You can fly Open Category IF you are not flying in a restricted zone which you can find using the ENAIRE App or [https://drones.enaire.es/](https://drones.enaire.es/). (only the grey areas) The shaded areas will have details of who to contact and height limits etc. There are some areas shown as UAS flying areas (drone symbols) ![Screenshot 2025-02-06 at 22.24.28](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/9/1/917a9e613b3514feb080885f798d0ccf16693249.png) ![Screenshot 2025-02-06 at 22.25.48](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/8/1/81722f61f62da1961b2c4cc1fd2ea8eb614ef0ae.png) ![Screenshot 2025-02-06 at 22.03.37](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/0/2/02049ae15eca4bbe200dce2e3aa121ccb24af63e.png) ![Screenshot 2025-02-06 at 22.11.50](https://d1q8cepst0v8xp.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/3/a38df5e061270bdc106afe04a7292ed08d07e546.png) ---
