The UK Foreign Office has updated covid travel rules for anyone travelling to Spain.
Spanish authorities have ditched rules that meant only vaccinated tourists could enter the nation. Travellers who have not had a coronavirus jab can now travel to the country by showing a negative PCR or antigen test on arrival.
The Foreign Office has also said those who have recovered from Covid-19 in the past six months can travel to Spain for tourism purposes with proof of covid recovery. Travellers will need the UK proof of Covid-19 recovery record or a recovery certificate issued by a relevant health authority or medical service to certify your Covid-19 status.

At least 11 days must have passed since your first positive covid nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) - or rapid antigen test. The recovery record or certificate will be valid for 180 days from the date of the positive test and must include the following information:
- your full name
- the date you first tested positive for COVID-19
- the type of test administered (e.g. COVID-19 nucleic acid amplification test - NAAT (PCR or similar) or rapid antigen test)
- the name of the country issuing the recovery record or certificate
- documentary proof of the diagnostic test from which the Recovery Certificate is derived
The relaxed rules come amid many other countries popular with British tourists removing some or all of their covid restrictions. You can find out more here
