Spain’s Balearic Islands have eased their Covid-19 restrictions after each island’s respective Covid alert level was lowered last week, further raising hope of the destination welcoming British tourists this summer.

Spain's Balearic islands have been added to Northern Ireland's green list

The archipelago’s tourism board said as of 11 March, incidence of new Covid cases in the 14 days previous had fallen to less than 50 per 100,000 across all four Balearic islands.


Bars will be allowed to reopen at limited capacity, as will retail, museums, cinemas and theatres, with some small-scale social gatherings also now permitted.


"The Balearic Islands are preparing to welcome back British tourists this season," said the tourism authority.


Following a summer 2020 pilot scheme, the islands also want to lead Spain’s vaccine certification trials.
