Travel rules to Spain have changed today – everything you need to know

TRAVEL rules for Brits heading to Spain have changed regularly in recent weeks, so make sure you're up-to-date with the latest Covid restrictions.

Spain will only permit Brits to enter who can prove they were fully vaccinated against Covid within the last 270 days.

Anyone who received their second dose more than nine months ago must have had a third booster jab to be allowed in.

The booster can be given any time before entry into Spain.

Unvaccinated Brits are not permitted to enter Spain for tourism purposes unless they can prove that they have recovered from Covid in the last six months.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive Covid test and the certificate of recovery will be valid for 180 days from then.

Families planning an Easter holiday to Spain have been given a boost as kids no longer need to be fully vaccinated to enter.

Kids aged between 12 and 17 who haven't had both of their jabs will just need to have a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours before arrival.

Children under the age of 12 don't need to be vaccinated or take any Covid tests.

We've rounded up the current Covid guidelines on Spanish islands.

Canary Islands

All of the Canary Islands are currently operating at Level 1 Covid alert.

The Spanish islands, - which include Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote - have been operating under a traffic light system since the pandemic began, depending on case numbers and hospital occupancy.

Since yesterday, they are all operating at Level 1 Covid alert - the lowest level.

Under Level 1, there can be 100 per cent capacity at all indoor and outdoor spaces, including cafés, bars and restaurants, and closing times can be by 4am.

Large events can operate at 100 per cent capacity both indoors and outdoors along with children and youth camps.

Some restrictions do remain in place, as there is a 12-person limit on group sizes and, despite the fact that nightclubs can open, dancing is banned.

The new measure is expected to be in force until April 30, although it may be extended if deemed necessary depending on Covid data nearer the time.

Balearic Islands

The Balearics islands - which includes Menorca, Majorca and Ibiza - have scrapped most of their Covid restrictions due to an improvement in cases.

Most restrictions in restaurants and nightclubs have been eliminated, including the number of people who can sit together.

However, two main regulations still remain - masks will have to be worn inside restaurants and nightlife, both in cocktail bars and nightclubs, and smoking on terraces continues to be banned.
