Tourist License
If you own a holiday rental in AndalucÃa, your property must comply with Decree 28/2016 and its updates, including recent changes in 2024–2025. These rules ensure that privately owned rentals meet quality, safety, and comfort standards for guests.
Properties must be registered with the AndalucÃa Tourism Registry (RTA) and meet requirements for habitability, safety equipment, and guest support. Local communities may also have rules regarding holiday rentals, so it’s important to check these before listing your property.
Don’t worry—if your property is well-managed and meets these standards, you’re all set to offer a safe, legal, and enjoyable stay for your guests.

Steps to apply for the Tourist License Number
National Rental Registration - NRUA
In addition to the Tourist License, all short‑term and tourist rentals in Spain must also have a valid Número de Registro Único de Alquiler (NRUA) — a unique national rental registration number — before they can be listed on digital booking platforms.
Without this number, listings can be delisted and fines may apply.
Owners are also required to submit an annual activity report linked to their NRUA to remain compliant.
