The Spanish Government is operating a level system to identify the state of infections with level four meaning "very high" - and some spots are sitting at level three right now.

The Balearic Islands which include Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera sit at level three 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.
