Europe's egg donation capital

IVF in Spain

Spain dominates European fertility tourism — representing roughly 40% of all cross-border IVF patients on the continent. With the largest egg donor pool in Europe, 40+ years of fertility tourism infrastructure, and a clear legal framework, it's the default destination for European patients and increasingly popular with Americans seeking donor egg cycles.

Who it's best for

Patients needing donor eggs (largest pool in Europe), European patients, single women, same-sex couples, and anyone who values a mature, well-regulated fertility tourism ecosystem.

Why patients choose Spain

Legal framework

Spain has comprehensive assisted reproduction legislation dating to 1988. Egg donation is anonymous by law. Single women and same-sex couples can access treatment. Surrogacy is not permitted. Gender selection is not permitted except for medical reasons. Age limits are clinical rather than legal, with most clinics treating patients up to approximately 50.

Where to go

Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, and Seville all have internationally recognized fertility clinics. Barcelona and Valencia are the most popular among international patients.

Travel logistics

Flight time from the US: 8–10 hours from US East Coast. Most patients need one or two trips — with remote monitoring handling initial consultations, medication management, and follow-up care from home.

What to watch out for

Costs are higher than Czech Republic or Greece. The 8–10 hour flight from the US makes it less practical for patients who prefer proximity. Surrogacy is not available. Donor anonymity means no identity-release option.
