We have a number of members who volunteer to run a variety of day trips throughout the year. We may also arrange longer excursions to more distant parts of Spain, with relevant hotel accommodation, some with meals included.
Trips are posted on the website as soon as they are arranged and an email is automatically sent to every U3A Javea member, we also include details in the weekly Newsletter if there are still places available.
Below you will see the our Terms & Conditions – booking for a trip will mean that you have read, accepted and agreed to them.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Please read the following as any request to book a trip will mean that you have accepted and agreed to them.
1. The U3A Jávea and group leaders involved in organising trips and events take every care to ensure that the health and safety requirements of members are taken fully into account. However, they are not liable in any respect for any loss or injury that may be suffered by members whilst participating in the Association’s activities.
2. Only current members of the U3A Jávea may take part in trips and you will be required to give your membership number when booking. Membership is not transferable between different U3A branches, whether in Spain or elsewhere.
3. Some tours/events may not be suitable for members with mobility problems – if you are at all unsure about the walking or difficulty level of any tour, please discuss this with the group leader prior to making a booking.
4. The group leader will endeavour to ensure that some places are available for solo travellers, but the availability of rooms is determined by the hotel/s involved.
5. Any changes to the event/trip offered which may become necessary, either prior to the commencement or during the course of the tour, are solely at the group leader’s discretion and members’ safety will always be paramount; for example, inclement weather may result in certain activities being cancelled at short notice (such as boat or train trips), schedules for visiting monuments etc may be changed, or planned festivals may be cancelled.
6. Members will be made aware of when and how to book any tour and of deposits required – reservations are confirmed once the deposit (or full amount for day trips/events) has been paid.
7. See the section below on Payment for Trips and Events. Should you have any queries concerning payment, please email the group leader.
8. Transfers received from a bank outside of Spain, for example, a sterling UK account, incur a charge of €18 which is the responsibility of the member concerned, not the U3A Jávea. It is preferable to make payments via a Spanish account or by card.
9. Cancellations and Refunds
a) The deposit/further payments are non-refundable if you subsequently cancel your booking. You are advised to let the group leader know immediately by email, as they may have a reserve list of other members wishing to participate in the event/trip and the group leader will arrange a transfer of the booking and a full refund of any payments made by the member/s cancelling.
b) If no other members take over the reservation, a partial refund may be possible, dependent upon the notice given to the group leader and the “fixed costs” which are shared between the members on the tour, for example, the cost of coach hire and the driver’s accommodation and meals during the tour.
10. Travel/Health Insurance
a) Members who are resident in Spain are responsible for ensuring that they have appropriate travel insurance for their own needs.
b) Members who are UK residents are expected to have comprehensive travel insurance including health cover for their stay in Spain, which must include any travel trips undertaken during their stay.
