Spain is today opening to fully vaccinated travellers from around the world in an attempt to kick start its summer tourism season.
Minister of Health Carolina Darias said the country is “a safe destination and we are in a position to soon regain our world tourism leadership”, adding that the easing of border controls “[places] us closer to returning to normal every day”.
Spain has a seven day rolling case rate per one million of 89, compared to the UK’s 69.
British holidaymakers have been free to travel to Spain since the end of May, without the need to test or show proof of vaccination. However, the UK Foreign Office (FCDO) responded to Spain’s global reopening by warning it has not changed its guidance on travel to the country.
“We continue to advise against all but essential travel to Spain, including the Balearic Islands, but excluding the Canary Islands,” it said.
Spain is on the UK’s amber list, which means that anyone returning to the UK must quarantine for up to 10 days.
