Requirements are phase and region dependent<\/strong><\/p>\n The Spanish government\u00b4s \u201cPlan for the Transition Towards a New Normality\u201d is taking place over four phases. The government Health Ministry decides when a region can move into a new phase. The legal requirements that holidaymakers must observe vary according to which region in Spain is visited and which phase is in force at that time.<\/p>\n The Spanish Health Minister, Salvador Illa, announced that by June 1, most of the regions (70%) will be in phase 2. Therefore, tourists and travellers before arriving to Spain should inform themselves as to which phase their region will be in.<\/p>\n Phase 1<\/strong><\/p>\n The key rules are<\/p>\n \u2022 Up to 10 people can meet for social gatherings either outside or in someone’s home but social distancing measures must be observed. Phase 2<\/strong><\/p>\n The key measures are:<\/p>\n \u2022 Up to 15 people can meet for social gatherings either outside or in someone’s home but social distancing measures must be observed. Phase 3<\/strong><\/p>\n This phase will allow more free movement across Spain and between regions. Nonetheless, the use of face masks will continue to be obligatory for all tourists and travellers.<\/p>\n The Spanish government has adopted these best practices to ensure economic activity can take place without endangering collective health.<\/p>\n Should you require legal assistance before, during or after your summer holiday in Spain, please get in touch with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Under current requirements, British tourists and international travellers arriving in Spain must self-quarantine for 14 days, according to order 403 published in the Spanish government’s Official State Gazette (BOE) on May 11.
