Travel warnings have been issued to holiday-goers this weekend heading to Spain.
Earlier this week, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) updated its guidance for Spain after the country announced a major change. The Spanish government approved a measure to lift all remaining coronavirus regulations.
As holiday-goers are urged to check the latest guidance before heading abroad, the FCDO has also updated its travel advice for Peru, Mongolia and Dominica. Amongst the changes are flood warnings, a state of emergency and departure tax fees, the Daily Record reports.

Travel advice has also been updated for Iceland due to seismic activity. Here's the latest, correct as of July 8, that you need to know before jetting off.
Mongolia
The FCDO has warned travellers to be aware of potential flooding in the country. The website reads: "Following large amounts of unexpected rainfall, rivers have broken their banks and parts of Ulaanbaatar are experiencing substantial flooding.
"This has caused travel disruption and damage to property and infrastructure. Follow police directions and be careful when travelling by car or on foot."
Peru
On July 5, a state of emergency was declared due to an increase in volcanic activity. The website reads: "If you’re planning to visit areas of known volcanic activity, pay careful attention to all warnings and follow the advice of the local authorities.
"On 5 July 2023, the Peruvian Government declared a state of emergency in the area surrounding the Ubinas volcano in Moquegua region due to Ubinas’s increased volcanic activity."
A warning has also been issued for heavy rain and snow which can cause rock and mudslides and can impact on travel. The FCDO added: "Take care when travelling in these areas during the rainy season and check the latest conditions with your tour operator. You should ensure you travel with a sufficient supply of food, water, cash in local currency, personal medication, and warm clothes should travel be disrupted."
People are also being urged to be aware of political protests and to take care to "avoid large gatherings". These could also impact travel.
Dominica
The FCDO took to social media to urge people to keep up to date with departure tax for those travelling by ferry. The website reads: "There is a departure tax for leaving Dominica.
"As of 1 April 2019 the amount increased to 86 East Caribbean Dollars or US$33. In most cases, the tax is included in the cost of your plane ticket, but you should check with your travel agent before travelling to confirm. You need to pay departure tax if travelling by ferry."
People should also be aware that "hurricane season" runs from June to November and holiday-goers are being asked to keep an eye on local and international weather updates.
Iceland
The FCDO website states: "Iceland is volcanically and seismically active and weather conditions can be severe and change rapidly."
It added: "On 5 July 2023 Reykjanes Peninsula began experiencing intense seismic activity. A volcanic eruption may start with short notice. Police have advised people to stay away from the area"
