UK citizens who have not been fully vaccinated against Covid-19 can now travel to the country by providing evidence of a negative PCR or antigen test. Fully vaccinated passengers will still need to show proof of vaccination to gain entry.
The BBC reports Spanish tourism minister Reyes Maroto as saying the "new phase" of the pandemic meant the country was able to relax the rules.
"This is excellent news, much awaited by the tourism sector," she said. "Spain is becoming one of the most desired destinations in the world."
An Abta spokesperson said Spain is the "most popular" holiday destination for UK travellers. "So it’s great that this relaxation of its travel rules will enable all travellers, regardless of their vaccination status, to enjoy a break there this summer," they added.
"There are still Covid-19 entry requirements in place, so we’d encourage anyone who is thinking of booking a trip to Spain to book with an ABTA travel agent or tour operator who can help them get their documentation together."
