Hi Carol,

You do, but if our experience in November is anything to go by, it will be hit and miss whether it's checked at the border - ours weren't.

Kind regards, 

Kim

Are you Spanish residents? If not then you're unlikely to be allowed to transit France to get to Spain. As the previous poster mentioned France has now closed the border for tourism.

If you're flying to Spain the bars & restaurants will accept your NHS Covid QR code, just make sure it's a recent download.

Good luck.
