Brits will be able to travel to Spain without having to quarantine from Sunday in a major boost for holidaymakers.
It comes after the Spanish government rowed back on its plans to impose a two-week isolation period on tourists from countries still struggling with coronavirus.
Those travelling from the UK will still need to register with authorities in Spain upon arrival.
And UK guidelines continue to advise against travelling abroad.
Spanish Foreign Minister, Arancha Gonzalez Laya, said: "We will allow British visitors to enter Spain just like the rest of the European Union or Schengen from 21 June freely and without the need for the quarantine."
"We're discussing with the UK authorities to see if they would do the same on their side, we nevertheless are doing this out of respect for the 400,000 British citizens that have a second residence in Spain and are dying to benefit from their homes in our country.
"We do hope they (the UK Government) will be sensitive to the 250,000 Spaniards that are also living in the UK and would like to enter the UK without a quarantine."
But without the Government setting up a so-called air corridor with Spain, anyone returning from a trip there would still have to quarantine for 14 days.
It comes as Spain's state of emergency is set to be lifted.
The advice earlier stated : "The State of Emergency (“Estado de Alarma”) declared on 14 March, will end on June 21.
"From this date, Spain will re-open its borders to European Union and Schengen-area countries (with the exception of Portugal where the restrictions will continue to apply up until 1 July), and travellers from the UK.
"This means that British nationals will no longer need to present a residency certificate to enter Spain.
"The Spanish Government has said that it is possible that UK travellers will still need to quarantine on arrival in Spain, but that decision has not yet been taken.
"Restrictions on travellers from outside the European Union and the Schengen free-travel area will be lifted from July 1 providing the countries they depart from have agreements with Spain."
The change to the official advice follows 24 hours of confusion earlier this week on whether Brits would be allowed entry.
It was initially thought that only members of the Schengen zone would be allowed entry to Spain.
The Foreign Ministry later clarified that EU member states are also included, and that the UK is still part of this group during the transition phase.
The coronavirus pandemic has devastated Spain's tourism industry, which accounts for around 12% of Spain's GDP and provides millions of jobs.
Tourism chiefs have blasted the potential quarantine measures - and called for health checks on passengers instead.
Currently the Foreign Office warns against all but non-essential travel abroad.
