Spain holidays: Latest FCDO update for Spain and Canary Islands as covid test rules change

Canary Islands

As with Spain, travellers to the Canaries will need to provide a negative covid test.

The FCDO explained: “If you’re travelling to the Canary Islands and are booked into regulated tourist accommodation, you will be obliged to:

– present an official, negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours earlier, when checking in to your accommodation

– download and activate the Radar COVID notification app throughout your stay on the islands, and for 15 days after your return home.

“These measures are specific to the Canary Islands and apply to all guests aged six years and over unless they have proof of travel confirming their uninterrupted presence on the islands for the previous 15 days.”
