Spain's Verano Joven: Huge Travel Discounts for Young People This Summer

Spain Launches 'Verano Joven' Program: Up to 90% Off Travel for Young People Spain's Ministry of Transport has announced the return of its popular 'Verano Joven' program, offering substantial discounts on public transportation for young adults. The program, running from July 1st to September 30th, provides discounts of up to 90% on train and state-owned bus tickets, as well as Interrail passes. This initiative aims to make travel more accessible for young people, building on the success of previous years which saw over 5 million journeys facilitated. "This year's Verano Joven promises to be even bigger and better," said a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport. "We are committed to providing affordable and convenient travel options for young people across Spain and Europe." To participate, young people aged 18 to 30 must register on a dedicated website that will be launched soon by the Ministry of Transport. Upon registration, they will receive a discount code to be used when purchasing tickets. It's crucial to register at least 24 hours before the intended travel date. The program is expected to boost domestic tourism and provide opportunities for young Spaniards to explore their own country and Europe during the summer months. The initiative reflects the government's commitment to supporting young people and promoting sustainable travel.
