Holidays to Spain could get cheaper thanks to a new law that's come into force.
Going out for dinner abroad can sometimes be an expensive and the costs quickly add up - especially if you need to feed a whole family.
However, Spanish authorities have issued a new law that could help knock a few euros off the bill. That's because as of April 11, all bars and restaurants in the holiday hotspot are legally required to offer free tap water, as an alternative to bottled water which customers must pay for.
As reported by GlasgowLive, new regulations have come in stating: "Establishments in the hotel and restaurant sector will always have to offer consumers, customers or users of their services the possibility of consuming unpackaged water free of charge and complementary to the offer of the same establishment."
Meanwhile, the country has lifted a requirement for beach users to wear masks, as these are no longer mandatory outdoors. Rules on wearing face masks indoors are set to be lifted from April 20.
Currently, Spain is open to UK tourists who are fully vaccinated or have recently recovered from Covid; either way, you'll need to be able to show proof of your status.
To be considered as fully vaccinated you'll need to have completed a full vaccination course at least 14 days before travel. If you completed this over 270 days (nine months) before travelling to Spain, you'll need a booster jab to qualify as fully vaccinated.
Although the rules apply to anyone aged 12 or over, Spain has eased its restrictions for unvaccinated teens aged 12-17, who can visit if they have proof of a negative Covid test.
It's worth noting that the country also recently scrapped pre-travel forms for vaccinated travellers.
