Summer holidays to Spain are reportedly 'at risk' as reports suggest the country could move to the red list.
The Spanish government currently requires all arrivals to Spain from the UK to present on entry a pre-travel declaration form and one of the following: a negative COVID-19 test; or proof of vaccination.
Spain, including the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands (Formentera, Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca), at present, are on the amber list.

Boris Johnson said he wanted travel rules to be as simple as possible as he faced a backlash over the possible introduction of an "amber watchlist" of countries.
The rumoured amber watchlist, which could include Italy and Spain, would apply to countries at risk of being moved into the red category - which requires hotel quarantine for 10 days at a cost of £1,750 for an adult.
Asked if he personally backed such a move, Mr Johnson said: "I understand how much people plan, prepare, for the summer holidays.
"But we have also got to remember this is still a dangerous virus and we must try and stop variants coming in, must stop importing variants from abroad, so we have to have a balanced approach.
"What I want to see is something that is as simple and as user-friendly for people as possible."
The Prime Minister said the success of the vaccination campaign meant the British economy was "just about the most open in Europe" but there was a balance to be struck on travel because of the risk of importing new coronavirus variants.
"We also have to recognise that people want, badly, to go on their summer holidays, we need to get the travel industry moving again, we need to get our city centres open again and so we want an approach that is as simple as we can possibly make it."
The government is set to issue its latest update to the traffic light system this Thursday.
