Hi,

I've read the relevant laws for entry to Spain from both countries at the minute:

UK: Stanley Johnson Loophole to prepare property for rental which we can use.

Spain: Force-majeure, can travel if unexpected occurrence such as damage to property etc, etc.

Would like to come next week, but don't want to book if wont get in.

Thanks

Ian

I see you materialised in Barcelona, so you did not drive through France, and you replied to a post about traveling through France saying no problem.
