Spain have retracted earlier changes which had been announced to their coronavirus travel rules.
It was reported that Spain had loosened restrictions and was allowing unvaccinated Brits into the country just in time for the Easter holidays. But now, in a rare reversal, the Spanish tourist board in London has withdrawn the promise of opening up to unvaccinated British visitors.
Just hours after issuing the announcement, travellers were told the information provided was incorrect. The announcement resulted from an error of interpretation of the official state bulletin.

Pedro Medina, deputy director of the Spanish tourist office in the UK said: “We apologise unreservedly for the miscommunication earlier today which was due to a misunderstanding of the new entry requirements.”
UK travellers aged 12 and above are still required to show proof of being fully vaccinated or a certificate of recovery (dated no more than 180 days previously). The only exception is for those aged 12 to 17 (inclusive) who can show a negative Covid test (PCR or similar) taken within the 72 hours before arriving in Spain.
