The Foreign Office has updated its guidance for people travelling to Spain, amid soaring coronavirus cases in some parts of the world.
Earlier this year, health bosses dropped a number of its coronavirus restrictions in a bid to boost tourism again. As of May, fully-vaccinated travellers could enter the country without taking a test.
In October, all covid requirements were lifted, meaning nobody had to test before or on arrival, regardless of vaccination status.

However, as of Tuesday (January 3), the Spanish government has reintroduced some covid rules. Anyone arriving in Spain from China must undergo visual and temperature checks on arrival and may be subjected to a diagnostic test for active infection at the point of entry.
Gov.uk advice continues: "Children under the age of twelve are exempt from this requirement, as are passengers who are transiting airside for 24 hours or less. Further information can be found on the website of the Ministry of Health. These requirements do not apply to travellers to Spain from Hong Kong."
It comes after Spanish health minister Carolina Darias told reporters last week that Spain would be reinstating certain measures, and pushing for similar rules "at a European level". This could mean UK travellers will be subject to covid requirements again when visiting Spain.
