Brits looking to holiday in Spain still have to jump through certain hoops to enter the country.
It has been announced that Covid regulations for travellers coming into Spain will remain in place until mid-November at least.
The country is one of the few European nations to continue the requirement for holidaymakers to be fully jabbed or to take a Covid test prior to entry.
If you had the second vaccine 270 days ago or more, than you'll need to have a booster to get into the country.
If you are not vaccinated, then you have to have a negative Covid test - either a PCR taken within 72 hours of departure or an antigen test taken within 24 hours of departure - to be allowed into Spain.
A Covid recovery certificate and completion of the country's Travel Health Control form is also accepted.
The rules will remain in force until November 15 at least.
The 270 day rule is one that's easy to miss and also applies in other countries, including the Netherlands.
Seamus McCauley, head of communications at Holiday Extras, said: “Ever since rules and regulations were first introduced, making sure we’ve double checked all the requirements is something we’ve all become used to – but as travel has returned to normal and we’re able to visit the majority of places with ease, it’s easy to miss the handful of holdover rules still in force.
“Rules like this, especially for two of the UK’s favourite holiday destinations, reiterate the need to double check the details before jetting off – especially for younger travellers.
"Making sure you’re fully prepared for your break needn’t take long.
"We’d recommend that everyone double-checks the entry rules for the destination they’re visiting in good time, and if eligible for their boosters – get them in good time, at least a fortnight before your departure date.”
Children under the age of 12 are free from any testing or vaccination requirements if they want to visit Spain.
They are also not required to fill out the travel form.
Face masks continue to be mandatory for anyone aged over six on public transport, in pharmacies, medical centres and care homes.
As with all EU countries, Brits have to have three months or more left on their passports to visit Spain due to a post-Brexit visa arrangement.
