Masks no longer have to be worn inside in Spain for the first time in nearly two years.
Wearing a face covering indoors became mandatory in 2020, during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic. Visitors to bars and restaurants had to wear a mask unless they were eating or drinking and they were a requirement in tight-knit outdoor spaces like football stadiums.
But from Wednesday April 20, wearing a mask is no longer compulsory in most indoor settings in Spain, including bars, hotels, cafes and restaurants. They must continue to be worn on public transport.
