Of Manchester for 5th may,just not sure what i should do about this flight , cancel/or hopefully restrictions will be lifted.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Hi Andy,
While you may be have an acceptable reason to leave the UK, currently you can't enter Spain unless you are a Spanish citizen or a Spanish resident - foreign citizens can prove residency in Spain by way of a green residency certificate, TIE, or approved application for a TIE. Non-residents may be able to gain entry for circumstances of force majeure, such as caring for a family member who lives here. Spain's State of Alarm is scheduled to be lifted on 9th May.
Kind regards,
Kim

Hi Andy,
The problem is that you need the travel restrictions of both the UK and Spain to align. It would certainly be helpful if the UK government would publish its 'Green' list of countries to which you can travel - UK media seem to have mixed views, but the airline industry is optimistic that Spain will make it on to the Green list.
When the Spanish government lifts its State of Alarm on 9th May, we're assuming that this will enable UK citizens, who are not resident in Spain, to resume travel here, but that has yet to be formally announced. At that time, responsibility for ongoing Covid-19 restrictions will rest with each of the regional governments, so you need to be aware of those too. Currently, in Comunudad Valenciana, the restrictions include regional border closure, curfew, mask wearing in all settings, restrictions on bar and restaurant opening times and capacities - these are all manageable if you're coming out just for a local visit, but not if you're hoping to tour the country 😄
