Hi 

We are hopefully arriving from UK on Tuesday.  Information is constantly changing.  When we arrive in Spain are we expected to quarantine for 2 weeks?  Or is quarantine lifted on 21 June or 1 July?

Hi, we heard that too but not sure if 21st June includes people from uk.  I heard it was being lifted for UK citizens from 1 July.

Spain had been minded to lift its quarantine requirements for people arriving from the UK, but is now considering "reciprocity" if the UK doesn't lift its own requirements for people arriving from Spain to quarantine for 14 days:

I can add that ,at present, The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has yet to alter its advice for UK travellers, I.e. Non other than 'essential travel'.

This is likely to be ammended soon, but as at present it still stands.

If Insurance has been purchased after the Coronavirus outbreak in March it is possible travel Insurance could be nul and void until this position is altered. If in doubt check out your Travel Insurance Company guidelines.

Just don't forget that the wearing of face masks is mandatory if you are to be within 1.5 metres of anyone.

Thank you. Ryanair directed me to British Embassy and their interpretation of essential travel is surprising.
