Hi Dee

If you are flying from Belfast (and not Dublin) no tests currently required for any of you to enter Spain.

Safe travels

Deirdre

I read online entering Spain from Ireland kids under 12 do not need tests. I don't know about entering Spain from northern Ireland sorry... But usually rules are similar

Thanks

They will now as Spain changed rules for UK citizens today. Unless vaccination certificate is presented, a negative pcr test result is required. Takes effect from Thursday.

Hi

Can I ask where you’ve seen this? I’ve just checked Uk gov website and Spain’s website which was updated today and Uk still on list of exempt countries? The rule of PCR test requirement currently only applies to canary islands

https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements#entry-rules-in-response-to-coronavirus-covid-19

https://www.mscbs.gob.es/en/profesionales/saludPublica/ccayes/alertasActual/nCov/spth.htm

Also nothing on N322 Facebook page which is very quick to update and inform if any changes?

I know EU are requesting more restrictions for Uk travellers but only being discussed and a number of countries including Greece and Spain are against it.

Any info or links would be great as I had planned to travel back to Belfast for a few days but this would put paid to that!

Many thanks

Deirdre

HI Steve

Just read an article in todays mirror and the local.es

I have to say the Mirror headline and first paragraph very misleading but it seems the new regulations are applying to Balearic Islands at this stage? Not to say it won’t kick in to mainland Spain but nothing to indicate it’s happening imminently?🤞

Hi Deridre,

It was an interview on Cadena SER radio this morning. Conflicting stories in press is it just the Balerics or mainland Spain too. No mention of the Canaries.

Like you say N332 usually on the ball.
