Britain is due to review its 14-day quarantine rule on June 29, three weeks after it was introduced
“We will allow British visitors to enter Spain just like the rest of the European Union or Schengen area from 21 June freely and without the need for the quarantine,” foreign minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya told BBC News.
Gonzalez Laya said British travellers would be subject to the same “triple check” as other European visitors, which consists of checking their origin, taking their temperature and taking contact details in case they need to be traced. Spain is still in discussions over whether the UK will similarly lift quarantine measures for Spaniards, she said. But it was opening its borders “out of respect for the 400,000 British citizens who have second residences in Spain” and who are “dying to benefit” from them.
“International travel corridors remain an option under consideration by the UK government, not established policy,” the spokesman said. “Conversations take place regularly with governments around the world on a whole range of issues and we will not be providing any further details at this stage.”Britons account for more than a fifth of the roughly 80 million tourists Spain receives every year.
