The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has issued new advice for anybody traveling to Spain.
It still advises against all but essential international travel, meaning that most of us won’t be going on Spanish holidays anytime soon.
But for those who are making essential journeys to the Mediterranean country, there are new quarantine rules in place.
The new FCO advice explains: “Spain has put measures in place to limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
“From 15 May, all new international arrivals entering Spain, including Spanish nationals and residents, will be required to self-isolate in their residence or hotel for a period of 14 days.
“Movement will be limited to essential trips to supermarkets or pharmacies and those affected will be required to wear a face mask at all times in public.

This means that anybody who is making an essential journey to Spain will now need to quarantine for 14 days when they arrive.
As Boris Johnson has announced similar steps will soon be introduced in the UK, they would then need to quarantine for another two weeks upon their return home.
The FCO added: “British travelers who are currently in Spain and who wish to return to the UK will continue to be allowed to depart and are advised to make travel plans to do so as soon as possible.
“If you’re currently in Spain, follow the advice of local authorities.
“Anybody planning to travel to Spain should consult their airline or tour operator and note that the FCO advises British nationals against all but essential international travel.”
Spain is currently in the process of lifting its coronavirus lockdown, and it’s expected that hotels and other hospitality venues will open – with restrictions – within the next couple of months.
