Tourists heading to the Canary Islands are set to enjoy a welcome boost as coronavirus restrictions will end this week.
From Thursday, March 24, all remaining measures will be scrapped, including a return to 100 per cent capacity both indoors and outdoors.
It will mean dancing will be able to return to clubs and discos at long last.
President Ángel Víctor Torres made the announcement on Tuesday but stressed it would be a temporary measure and rules could be reinstated should Covid worsen.
The islands within the Canaries, which include Tenerife, Lanzarote and Gran Canaria, have been on varying alert levels which have affected tourists from the point of view of opening hours of bars and restaurants, occupation levels and how many people could sit together at tables.
It's worth noting that while local Covid rules are being suspended, the travel rules remain in place for Brits planning holidays to the Canaries.
Under the current Spain travel rules fully vaccinated Brits can visit for holidays, although the country recently changed its rules meaning that if they have proof of Covid recovery, unvaccinated visitors can also enter the destination. These rules apply to anyone aged 12 or over.
Spain has also eased its rules for unvaccinated teens aged 12-17 to allow them to visit provided they have a negative PCR test result and are travelling with vaccinated adults.
All travellers will also need to fill out a pre-travel form and obtain a QR code to show at border control.
It's worth noting that to be considered fully vaccinated, you need to have completed your vaccine course within 270 days (or nine months), otherwise you'll need a booster jab.
Meanwhile, heading back to the UK just got a lot easier too as the new travel rules brought in earlier this month mean that you won't need to fill out a passenger locator form or take any Covid tests to enter the UK, no matter what your vaccination status.
