On Saturday (25 July), the government revoked Spain’s travel corridor, effectively ending – with just a few hours notice – quarantine-free travel between the two countries, including travel to and from Spain’s Balearic and Canary islands where there is a lower rate of coronavirus infection.
The Foreign Office has subsequently advised against all but essential travel to all of mainland Spain and its islands, forcing the UK’s two largest tour operators – Tui and Jet2holidays – to suspend their Spain programmes for several weeks with yet no fixed date on when they may yet be able to resume this summer – if at all.
