This is when UK tourists may be allowed to visit Spain again - according to its transport minister

Spain plans to allow foreign visitors - including the UK - into the country by next week, according to new government updates on tourism in the country.

Jose Luis Abalos previously said that Spain was aiming to reboot its travel economy in time for the summer period.

When can travellers from the UK enter Spain?

Spanish Government sources have since confirmed on Sunday evening (14 June) that despite Brexit, the UK is still enjoys full EU membership rights, due to the country being in a transition period.

Under the newly announced rules, UK travellers will be able to enter Spain from June 21 - when Spain's state of emergency ends.

International visitors arriving in Spain will also no longer need to commit to 14 days of quarantine, however visitors will still need to wear a mask in crowded public spaces until a vaccine for coronavirus is found.

What did the Spanish transport minister say?

Abalos said the travel ban was only a temporary measure, and one that would be slowly eased, alongside the gradual lifting of domestic travel bans across the country.
