According to the latest information from the British Embassy in Madrid Spain has announced that the current travel restrictions on passenger travel by air and sea from the UK will be extended until 6pm on 2 February 2021 except for Spanish nationals and those legally resident in Spain.
International transit through Spanish airports by passengers on flights departing from the UK is not permitted. This includes flights from the UK to the Balearic Islands and Canary Islands. If you were due to travel, or transit through, Spain, please contact your travel operator before departure.
