There are a number of countries UK travellers can now visit without taking a Covid test before departure. But for thousands of holidaymakers Spain is not on the list.
The nation has done a rapid U-turn on earlier changes which had indicated it had eased restrictions just in time for the Easter holidays. But, just hours after the announcement, travellers were told the information provided was incorrect because of an error of interpretation of the official state bulletin, reports the LiverpoolECHO.
All UK visitors aged 12 and above are still required to show proof of being fully vaccinated or a certificate of recovery (dated no more than 180 days previously). The only exception is for those aged 12 to 17 (inclusive) who can show a negative Covid test (PCR or similar) taken within the 72 hours before arriving in Spain.
