British holidaymakers are being warned about using automated eGates while travelling to Spain.
Earlier this month, the Spanish government said British travellers could use automated border control eGates in a bid to stop huge queues building in the terminals.
Following Brexit, passengers had to use the manual non-EU queue to enter and exit Spain - but this decision has been reversed at several airports across the country.

Spain's tourist board in the UK tweeted: "British Citizens can now use the Automated Border Control eGates for Schengen passport holders at select Spanish Airports: Alicante, Barcelona, Bilbao, Girona, Gran Canaria, Ibiza, Lanzarote, Madrid, Málaga, Mallorca, Menorca, Valencia, Fuerteventura, Sevilla, Tenerife Sur."
However, the Foreign Office has urged Brits to make sure they have their passport stamped by border officials upon entering and leaving the country.
A passport stamp should prevent travellers from being delayed by officials when trying to leave. If there is no record of entry a person could be accused of overstaying and face possible penalties.
The UK Foreign Office advised: "On arrival or departure, check you are eligible to use the e-gates and that you are in the right queue. When using an e-gate, your entry/exit is recorded on the computer system.
"A border officer may also stamp your passport after you have passed through the e-gate; this is for airport operational reasons. If you use a manned booth, check that your passport is stamped by the border officer when you enter or exit as a visitor."
