European Youth Card Association - EYCA

The Generalitat of Catalonia's Youth Card belongs to the European Youth Card Association (EYCA) which is made up of 60 organizations from most European countries.

EYCA, fosters mobility and youth information for young people aged up to 30 through issuing the European Youth Card. Created in 1990, in 1995 it received the support of the European Commission with the aim of converting it into the key to information, mobility, culture and participation for young Europeans. Through a series of services, discounts and advantages, the Carnet Euro<26 encourages young people to take responsible decisions, to explore their world and to play an important role as citizens of Europe in today's society.

The authorisation of the youth card by the EYCA means that you can enjoy more than 100,000 advantages in all the autonomous communities of Spain and in the over 40 European countries adhered to the "Carnet Euro<26" programme. At the end of 2007, EYCA approved the extension of the age to be able to use youth cards up until 29 (it had previously been 25). It should be said that both in Spain as well as throughout Europe, this extension is being introduced gradually, which is why on the list the places where you can already enjoy the advantages up until the age of 29 are marked with an asterisk.
