New measures have been announced in some regions while curbs have been relaxed in other places.
A Covid passport will be required to enter bars and restaurants in the Balearic Islands of Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. Face masks are also mandatory indoors and in some outdoor settings.
These regulations will not be reviewed until February 28 at the earliest.
The region of Andalusia - including Marbella, Torremolinos and Fuengirola - has similar restrictions in place but they will be reviewed on February 15. The region of Valencia, that covers resorts like Benidorm and the Costa Blanca, has similar measures in place.
In Tenerife, masks are mandatory both indoors and outdoors but can be taken off when seated at a table. Vaccination certificates are required to enter venues with a capacity of 30 or more, while capacity is reduced in all public and commercial spaces.
Venues that normally stay open late must close earlier than usual and UK customers must be fully-jabbed to enter. There are also regulations restricting the number of people allowed on certain beaches. These regulations will be reviewed on February 4.
Similar measures are in force in Gran Canaria and La Palma. In Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, a Level Three alert is in place. This means bars and restaurants must close by 1am, with a restriction of six guests per table indoors.
Vaccine passports are required and there may be rules on the number of people using certain beaches.
Catalonia - which includes resorts on the Costa Brave - has scrapped the need for the Covid passport as well as limits on the number of people who can gather and capacities. Nightclubs will be closed for at least one more week.
There are five regions that have completely lifted restrictions. Asturias, Castile-La Mancha, Castile and León, Extremadura, and capital city Madrid have binned all regulations. While current measures are being gradually eased in Galicia.
