Rangers fans who are travelling to Seville may be wondering what the face mask rules are in Spain.
Face masks have not been legally required in Scotland since April of 2022.
Many European countries, including Spain, still have face mask requirements that Rangers fans may have to follow during their time in the Spanish city.
Spain's rules will allow fans to visit shops, cinemas, bars, and restaurants without having to wear a mask, although it is currently recommended that they do. Masks are also recommended for sporting events.
Masks are still a legal requirement in certain situations, according to the foreign travel advice from the UK Government website.
Situations where you must wear a face mask include:
- using any form of public transport in Spain
- visiting a hospital or medical centre, including dentists, opticians, pharmacies etc.
- visiting a care or nursing home
Do I need to wear a face mask on the flight to Spain?
Yes, Spain is one of a number of EU countries that is keeping face masks as a requirement for passengers travelling into the country.
While many airlines are removing face mask rules, this will not apply for travel to countries where it is mandatory.
Just last week, The Spanish minister Carolina Darias told The Local : “Europe says that the use of the mask on flights must be aligned with national regulations and in Spain we only recently decided that in this context it remains mandatory.
"All the measures have to follow a process and therefore we have to advance with caution and proportionality as we have until now."
