The Spanish authorities have announced that unvaccinated arrivals would still be unable to visit Spain, and that a negative PCR test taken no more than 72 hours before travel, or a negative rapid antigen or lateral flow test taken no more than 24 hours before travel would not be accepted (unless for unvaccinated 12-17 year olds accompanying vaccinated parents).
As it now stands, according to the British Foreign Office's website: Under the Spanish government’s current measures, you can only enter Spain from the UK for tourism purposes if you can show valid proof of meeting the vaccination requirements set out above or a medical certificate certifying that you have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 6 months prior to travel. See ‘If you’ve had COVID-19 in the past year’ for further details.
Children aged 12 to 17 inclusive travelling for tourism can enter Spain by presenting documentation certifying that they have undertaken a COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test – NAAT or a recovery certificate.
Diagnostic tests are only accepted for travellers from the UK if your reason for travel to Spain falls into one of the categories listed as ‘essential’ on the ‘Entry requirements for entry in Spain from third countries’ - section ‘a’ to ‘i’ - on the Spanish Ministry of Health ‘Travel and COVID page https://www.sanidad.gob.es/en/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/spth.htm
This includes EU citizens, an accompanying family member of an EU citizen, a resident of Spain, or if one of the other exemptions listed applies to you.

No more than David Icke, Nigel.
You may or may not be a reader of the daily express, but Tracy or Ian at the pub probably get their entire understanding of the world from that and Facebook. So, you can have confidence in what they tell you. By the way, according to Tracy, a lot of people are sayin' that drinking bleach mixed with aspirin cures not only covid, but cancer too. It's a secret remedy that only Tracy knows about, so don't bother asking your doctor. Doctors never know anything anyway. Oh, yeah, Ian at the pub says the pandemic was invented by a Pakistani and sold it to China, who made a deal with socialists to create panic and chaos. Apparently Ian knows this for sure. Good job we have pubs.
Ever thought Tracy might be right?
People have had enough of experts and scientific facts. They prefer to get their information from Tracy on Facebook whilst sitting on the khazi!
More irrefutable "facts" James? Sort yourself out, you are an embarrassment
Oh, you really shouldn't judge based on the number of negative points of a comment. As I've said before, Brits, who are by far the largest readership of this publication, quite famously and demonstrably exhibit a very special, unique mentality. Most obvious is the ability to ignore irrefutable facts in favour of more convenient or comforting theory. It's actually exhibited here daily, and quite rampant for example, in British politics. Although naturally, you'll deny that. Yet it's demonstrated daily, irrefutably. Many irrefutable facts are offered here, and it's absolutely inevitable that if it isn't what some Brits want to hear, it will be retaliated with "minus" points. Despite being irrefutable truth. But that's just the nature of the beast.
Ok Fred. Have you taking your pills today?
@Juan. Well like I say about Morgan. You seem to be in that small minority judging by the negativity to your comments. Don't get so angry when your posting comments. It won't do you any good.
Yes Marvin. All around the World.
James, angry Fred here. What a total non entity you are. Go and claim your dole check tomorrow you thicko. The crap that comes out your mouth is loathesome. Go read a book or leave your council house now and again.
