Spain holiday chaos for Brits as Covid restrictions extended ahead of Easter break

Thousands of Brits have had their Spanish holiday dreams crushed this Easter break as the country extends its coronavirus restrictions until the end of April.

Until 30 April 2022, only UK travellers who are fully jabbed are allowed to enter Spain - as well as those who can show proof of coronavirus recovery.

However, anyone who does not the have the vaccine - or has gone six months without a follow-up booster - will not be able to enter the country in the Easter holidays this month.

Spain had been expected to relax these entry requirements for those without the vaccine at the end of March - with many unvaccinated Brits gearing up for a holiday abroad to the popular destination.

But now, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin, the Ministry of Health has extended the rules until the end of April.

Teens without the vaccine are still able to enter Spain - but unvaccinated adults are not.

Children aged between 12 and 17 who haven't had both of their jabs can enter by showing proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours prior to travel.

To enter, you must be able to prove you were fully vaccinated against Covid within the last 270 days. If you received your second dose more than nine months ago, you must have had a booster jab to be allowed in.
