What are your plans for this summer? If you have already resigned yourself to the fact that the borders of most countries are always closed and airplanes fly half empty, we have good news for you. June 7 in Spain will start the holiday season, but only for tourists vaccinated against the corona virus. Yes not for everyone, however it is already better than nothing!
As reported by El Pais, travelers must be vaccinated with a vaccine approved by the European Medical Association or the World Health Organization.
No PCR test or being in quarantine is required if you have a certificate of vaccination with products recognized in the EU. However, the last recommended dose of vaccine must have been administered at least 14 days before entry.”

The EMA at this stage has approved vaccines developed by BioNTech/Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson, while the WHO has approved a Chinese vaccine from Sinopharm. Russian drugs do not yet appear on the list.

Overseas tourism in Spain, which was the second most visited country in the world before the pandemic, plummeted 80% last year due to travel restrictions that left beaches, restaurants and hotels empty for most of that time.
“The state of emergency is in the past. We must look to the future, and that is vaccines, vaccines, and once again vaccines,” said Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez (link). The Spanish government has set a goal of achieving immunization of at least 70% of the population as soon as possible.

Restrictions in force in Spain
For the time being, curfews and some restrictions have been lifted in most regions of Spain. However, the Valencian District still has a curfew from 01:00 to 06:00 (starting on May 24 for 2 weeks). Unless you are an avid fan of disco until the early hours of the morning, this regime will not affect your vacation. There are also restrictions on full seating in closed restaurants and bars (indoors only 50%, on outdoor terraces with distance). We advise you to make reservations in advance to avoid waiting in line for those who did not have enough seats due to limited seating. Access to beaches and pools is allowed with the observance of distance.
