Spain travel warning as restrictions tighten in Tenerife, Ibiza and Mallorca for holidaymakers

Spanish holidays may be different again this year as the country has been forced to tighten Covid restrictions.

Scots holidaymakers heading to Spanish Islands including Tenerife, Ibiza and Mallorca will be required to stick to rules such as curfews and capacity limits.

It comes as the Balearic and Canary Islands have seen a surge in coronavirus cases.

Spain have been operating a level systems throughout the pandemic depending of the rates of infection at that time.

Level four is the most serious and is implemented when cases and risk is "very high" with level one the most relaxed.

At the moment, some spots have been pushed into level three following a surge in infection rates.

The Balearic Islands which include Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera sit at the second highest level while Tenerife - one of the Canary Islands - saw its own Covid level rise to four on Monday, January 17.

The rise in cases means pub and restaurants will all shut at midnight and public transport is capped at 75 per cent capacity.

The rule of six applies when meeting others both indoors and outdoors, nightclubs are capped at 25 per cent capacity and vaccine passports must be shown to enter some indoor venues.

As well as this it means spas, jacuzzis and saunas are also forced to shut and there will be restrictions in the number of people allowed at outdoor pools and even beaches

Reportedly outdoor pools are capped at 33 per cent capacity and beaches are at 50 per cent.

The other Canary Islands including Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, La Palma and La Graciosa have all been put at a Covid level of three. La Gomera and El Hierro sit at level two.

The level three restrictions mean beaches are capped at 50 per cent capacity and you have to book to visit. While bars and restaurants can stay open to 1am, you can only meet in groups of six.

A review of the levels across Spain will be reviewed on Wednesday, January 20.
