¿Qué es la ETA del Reino Unido?

La ETA es una autorización digital que los viajeros necesitarán obtener antes de viajar al Reino Unido, si no requieren un visado. Este sistema está inspirado en el programa ESTA de Estados Unidos y el futuro ETIAS de la Unión Europea. Los viajeros que actualmente pueden entrar en el Reino Unido sin visado tendrán que solicitar un visado británico ETA a partir de 2024.

When Martin first told me that he and Kate would be travelling overland rather than flying, I knew straight away I wanted him to share their journey. Here was someone choosing the road less travelled – quite literally – and I knew there would be a wonderful story to tell. Travel that feels slower, kinder to the planet and a little more adventurous—and their trip is exactly that.

By complete coincidence, on the very day they were arriving I happened to be running some errands in Aracena. We bumped into each other in a café on the main square and I offered them a lift up to Alájar to save the wait for the 13:30 bus. True to the spirit of their trip, they politely declined—happy instead for me to take their rucksacks while they carried on at their own pace.

Their journey from a small Gloucestershire village to our peaceful posada in the heart of the Sierra de Aracena is a testament to the magic of slow travel. It's proof that getting here can be just as memorable as the destination itself. Through Martin's wonderfully detailed account, you'll discover that choosing trains and buses over planes doesn't just reduce your carbon footprint – it opens up a world of unexpected encounters, charming overnight stops, and the kind of authentic travel experiences that simply can't be replicated at 30,000 feet.

For those considering making the journey to Posada San Marcos without flying, Martin's adventure shows it's not only entirely possible but thoroughly rewarding. From Oxford narrowboats to Nîmes' festival atmosphere, Madrid's galleries to Sevilla's timeless charm, every step of their journey was part of the holiday itself.

So pour yourself a glass of something nice, settle in, and let Martin take you on their delightfully unhurried journey to our corner of Andalusia....
