Spanish authorities have updated their coronavirus vaccine validity requirements for travellers visiting the country from the UK. A total of 4.3 million Brits travelled to the country last year, with many more expected to holiday there this summer as Covid restrictions ease across Europe.
That figure was significantly down on the 18 million tourists who headed to popular resorts on the Costa del Sol, Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, Canary Islands and Balearic Islands, in 2019, before the pandemic struck, according to the Statista website. But the UK remains one of the leading contributors to the Spanish tourist industry.
Schools in Tyne and Wear are set to break up for the summer holidays on Friday July 22, so many families will be getting ready to head to Spain for their holiday. They may be wondering what the current Covid rules are in the country - and what it means for UK holidaymakers. Here is a short outline of the latest situation, including vaccine mandates and restrictions.
