Spain will allow visitors from the UK for holidays from Monday, the country’s government has said.

People can enter the country for non-essential journeys however Spain remains on the UK government amber list, meaning anyone returning has to self-isolate for 10 days and take two COVID tests.

Spain‘s amber status also means UK government guidelines recommend the public should not travel there unless for an essential reason.

This also includes the Balearic Islands but excludes the Canary Islands, based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks, according to the Foreign Office.

Spain’s nationwide State of Emergency declared by the country’s government in October last year came to an end on 9 May, however some restrictions and curfews remain in force and may vary between regions.

Face coverings continue to be mandatory for anyone over the age of six on all forms of public transport and in many other indoor and outdoor public spaces, while people are expected to socially distance at 1.5 metres.
