Speaking during a visit to Alicante on Monday (10 May), tourism minister Maria Reyes Maroto said she was hopeful the country would be bumped up onto the UK government’s green list promptly.
Currently, Spain is on the amber list; this means anyone returning to the UK from Spain will have to self-isolate at home for 10 days and take tests on days two and eight.
The UK government will allow some limited international travel from Monday (17 May) to a dozen green list countries and territories, only four of which are viable holiday destinations at this time – Portugal, Israel, Iceland and Gibraltar.
