UK citizens who have not had a coronavirus jab can now travel to Spain by showing a negative PCR or antigen test on arrival.
The Spanish government confirmed that non-vaccinated travellers from outside the EU can enter the country from Saturday.
Fully vaccinated passengers will still need to show proof of vaccination.
The UK removed all its remaining international Covid travel restrictions for entry on 18 March.
This included passenger locator forms and tests for passengers who do not qualify as vaccinated.
Other European countries followed suit, with Austria, Greece, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, Sweden, Serbia, Slovenia and Slovakia no longer having any Covid travel restrictions for visitors.
Previously, heightened restrictions meant UK travellers were only allowed to enter Spain with vaccine certification or proof of recovery from the virus.
As the latest wave of that strain dissipated, countries across the world loosened their Covid travel restrictions to welcome visitors again.
And on Saturday, Spanish tourism minister Reyes Maroto said the “new phase of the pandemic” meant the country was able to relax the rules by equating non-EU travellers with those of the EU and Schengen-associated countries.
“This is excellent news, much awaited by the tourism sector,” said Ms Maroto, adding: “Spain is becoming one of the most desired destinations in the world.”
