Yes you still need to fill in the Spanish locator forms and as long as you have proof of double vaccine that’s it to enter Spain.

Coming back into the Uk, I believe at the moment you still have to have a preflight antigen test (lateral flow) within 72 hours of departure and a PCR on day two on your return to Wales and of course you have to fill in the UK locator form....

That could change as the other devolved governments normally follow England and by the end of October you could be on the same footing as England, keep an eye on the Uk gov sites for any up to date information.

From 4am on Monday October 4th the requirement to have a pre-flight test when travelling from Spain to the UK is dropped for the fully vaccinated.. The day2 test in the UK is still required and it needs to be a PCR test until some later date in October.

Note that this is for England, I have not checked on Wales, Scotland, NI....

There is a link on a previous post on this thread that takes you to the UK Gov site explaining the changes and further links to the other 3 countries.

If you are travelling to England before the 4th October then you will need an antigen test as suggested by dinner out within the 72 hrs before departing Spain. and yes you need to book a day2 PCR test from the UK that then allows you to fill in the UK locator form within 48 hrs of arriving.

There is no date for the Lateral flow test instead of a PCR yet, so at the moment you do need a day 2 PCR test....

Take look at Aitches post if you haven’t already. Good luck safe travels.

You can buy a second day PCR test from expert medical for £28 why splash out any more that you have to, hopefully some time in October this will be reduced further and you will only need an antigen test. Safe travels everyone.
