Spain tightens Covid restrictions for unvaccinated travellers

Spain has tightened its Covid travel rules throwing half term holidays for British travellers into doubt.

The Spanish government has said tourists who are unvaccinated must produce a negative lateral flow test 24 hours before departing.

Since June 2021, they have had up to 48 hours to take a lateral flow test before travelling to Spain.

However, the time allowed was reduced to one day in new rules which kicked in on Tuesday.

Fully-vaccinated travellers do not have to produce a negative test in order to enter Spain.

However, this could rule out family holidays as children aged 12 to 15 may not yet be double jabbed.
