Travel Arrangements:
Travel arrangements to and from Spain can be made with any travel agency. You should begin this process as soon as your place in the group is reserved and complete it upon being notified of your selection. We strongly recommend that participants purchase travel insurance to cover all needs including medical, accident, baggage loss, delays and personal liability. ArchaeoSpain is not a travel provider nor is a registered travel agent. Your travel arrangements to and from Spain are subject to the terms and conditions of your travel agency. In the rare event that the program is cancelled, ArchaeoSpain will refund program fees, but is not responsible for non-refundable airline or other tickets or payments or any similar penalties that may be incurred. It is your responsibility to protect yourself against airline and travel agency cancellation fees.
Medical Insurance:
All ArchaeoSpain participants at Pintia are covered by an insurance policy through the University of Valladolid that provides medical and surgical treatment and prescription drugs in case of accident or sudden illness. This insurance has always been reliable and in the past it has worked well for most unexpected illnesses or accidents. It is limited, though, so we recommend that participants have some backup insurance so they can be covered in case of more serious events. Please contact our staff for more information.
European students should bring an EHIC card with them.
Right of Refusal:
ArchaeoSpain and the University of Valladolid reserve the right to refuse an applicant's selection. This is a rare occurrence and is most likely due to a person's inability to meet health requirements or in the interest of group compatibility. Once in the field, the Pintia director and ArchaeoSpain reserve the right to send a participant away from the program should that person's behavior compromise the safety, research objectives and general performance of the group, or violate Spanish laws, regulations or customs.
