has any british resident entered Spain recently, what's needed and was there any problems
Are you travelling Wilson? If so good luck.
Being nosey - what are your official reasons for entering Spain, Wilson?
Best of luck, hope you get in although entry does seem to depend on the mood of the officials who meet you.
It is not so much ‘luck’ or ‘loopholes’...it really should be thinking of the protection of people in this pandemic. The infection rates are rising very quickly in Spain again, but fortunately in the Valencia region we are doing okay. This is not because we have been vaccinated......that is another story......but rather the infection rates remain low here because of the strict lockdown. There can be very very few reasons for anyone to want to choose to travel to another country at present. It all comes down to a persons conscience and doing what is right and what has been set out legally, to attempt to keep others safe. For people living in Spain we are now used to the restrictions....for anyone visiting it is not as you may think. Masks worn at ALL times, bars/restaurants closed at 6pm, street curfew at 10pm, restricted numbers dining together or visiting homes. Always the chance of restrictions being ramped up at any time!!!The weather is a bit up and down at the moment, quite chilly today and looks like rain. So!!!!!! please can someone tell me why, from what I have read on this site, that it seems to have become a challenge to find a way to travel over here.. On another note....anyone who does insist on visiting needs to ensure they have very good health insurance as the EHIC card won’t help you. Whilst the care in hospitals here is fantastic there is a very big language problem if you don’t speak Spanish. Also, if you were to be admitted with Covid you are completely on your own....no visitors at all. It happened to me in January and whilst I was on the Covid Ward there was at least 8 other people from Gran Alacant there too. So, it does happen here and believe me you do not want to be in that position. So to sum it up.....not so much ‘luck’ but more about taking unnecessary health risks.
