Many of you want to enjoy the heat and therefore your vacation on the beaches and even inland from Spain, despite the coronavirus health crisis. Non-refundable advance booking, irresistible desire to see family or friends or simply the need to discover or rediscover this fantastic country that is Spain even in this 2020 year of the Coronavirus pandemic.

But depending on the regions and the resorts or even the visits, the restrictions can be very strict depending on the decisions of the Spanish communities and regions. And especially of their acceptance by the central government according to the cases of coronavirus.

Precaution to take before departure

To leave for Spain there is not supposed to be quarantine or paper other than your identity card for the inhabitants of the European Union.

However, to be sure of not having problems and to move quickly enough during free border controls and across Spain, a recent negative PCR test certificate will save you time.

If you are not from the same family or the same household (see bringing a family booklet), the mask even in the car is a pledge for the guardia and the other police forces in Spain of your good behavior as a tourist.

Of course the European social security card is to be taken before leaving with your social security center so as not to have any costs to advance (except in pharmacies), but this applies all year 2020 and all past and future years.

And it does not miss, the cases of virus infections are increasing in this summer of 2020, forcing regions and the state to take more stringent measures.
