Tourists visiting Spain from the EU will no longer have to show their Digital Covid Certs upon arrival.
Much like Italy earlier this week Spain now no longer requires proof of Covid-19 vaccination, recent recovery or a negative test from EU travellers.
“The improvement of the epidemiological situation” in Spain and other European countries, and Spain’s high vaccination rate were the reasons for the relaxation, the country’s Health Ministry said.
The nation joins a growing list of countries dropping most or all of their Covid restrictions which includes:Luxembourg, the United Kingdom, Ireland Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
Other popular holiday destinations in Europe, such as France, Germany and Portugal, as well as Turkey, still have some restrictions in force.
María Reyes Maroto, Spain’s Minister of Industry, Trade and Tourism said the decision was in part due to the improving Covid situation in the country.
“The country saw a 9% drop in daily cases over the past week, with 229 new cases per 100,000 people in the past week.”
Restrictions will still apply to travellers from outside the EU.
