Yes, as the others have mentioned, you need to be vaccinated. At least Spain accepts the 1/1 dosage, we had trouble getting back to UK because they do not accept it.

This may seem like an obvious question but why have you not been vaccinated?

I’m not worried as I won’t be sitting next to them. 

They are not allowed into Spain and rightly so.

You can still spread and catch off a vaccinated person just as much. 

Everyone has to follow the rules though so get your jab NOW. 

All the best 🍀💚🙏

David has given the answer already but here's another link: https://www.which.co.uk/news/2021/12/can-i-travel-to-spain-from-uk/

You need to be jabbed and probably for the foreseeable future...

Hi Juliet

The answer to your question is that the rules require you to be vaccinated in order to travel to Spain.

In my experience, you will always be required to provide your vaccine passport at the airport after you have passed through passport control.

You may be able to argue an exemption, however, increasingly the authorities are becoming less flexible about this.

It would be very hard to arrive at the airport and find yourself deported on the next flight back to the UK.

That is what has now happened, in Australia, to Novak Djokovic which has cost him tens of thousands of pounds and the opportunity to try to win the Australian Open this year and probably for the next 3 years.

You can try to do this but you probably have a very small likelihood of success.

If you just want to prepare your home to rent it then you can appoint a local agent to do that for you.

That is why I think that the border control authorities will not be sympathetic.

Unless you train for and obtain an HGV driving licence . . . . 

People have driven through the Netherlands, then through France and on to Spain but border controls are becoming stricter.

Vaccines are not 100% safe nor are they 100% efficacious.

But, in 2022, if you want to enjoy freedom of movement from the UK to the EU the rules do require triple vaccination.

You do not have to undergo triple vaccination, however, if you do not then many doors will not open for you.

In future, there will be more SARS-CoV-2 variants and, the likelihood is that this pandemic and the restrictions it has imposed on travel, are not going to go away in the next year or two.

This may well be something, like travel restrictions post 9/11, that have not changed on 20 years and will never return to the way things once were.  

Who would have believed, 20 years ago, that we would not be allowed to bring our own bottle of water onto an airliner?

Best regards

Philip

Do you not perhaps think that we are going just a little off topic now. The lady asked a question and that has been answered to the best of people's ability. Whilst we will all have personal opinions regarding vaccination it is still for an individual to decide what is right for them and not for ...

...others to force their beliefs onto others. You have no idea if the OP is anti-vax or not, nor is it our business. Let's welcome participation in this forum from newcomers, not chastise them because they may think differently to you.

Andy I agree with you!  And I did not see your post as 'chastising".

We own a property in Frigiliana and would like to visit but have not had a vaccine.

Does anyone know how the law stands at the moment in this regard

Thanks

My wife and I have just arrived in Spain after retirement from the health care sector. Go and get vaccinated it's the only sensible thing to do.

I very definitely don’t want to sit next to an anti vaxxer , either . Nor should anyone have to . It would be better if the airlines and ferries didn’t put the rest of us at risk by transporting them . I am fully in agreement with Macron in this respect . 

To start I am vaccinated so am not anti vax but I have also had covid 4 times, twice before my jab and twice after, 4th time with the new variant, all of the times I have suffered the same before and after my jabs. 
People being jabbed can carry and contract it just as much as someone that is not. 

I am high risk so always worried for my health. I had a blood clot with my 1st jab and was hospitalised but had further for my health in controlled conditions, to then be told by public health I shouldn’t have been given it.

I don’t agree with only being able to fly being jabbed for this reason, I much rather sit next to someone I no has had a clear test than been vaccinated. 

Over December I came to Spain twice on which both flights I was pinged with having been positive cases on my flight ,when all are fully vaccinated. 

I also have a close family member that died from the jab which they don’t include people in there daily numbers on the news whom die of this vaccine it’s self. 

Everyone can argue or have an opinion but instead of listening to the government telling us science, have a look for your self and decide what is right. They announce what they want us to hear. personally I’m done with being part of there trial.

'Dr David Hepburn said there were no vaccinated Covid patients in critical care at Grange University Hospital in Cwmbran, South Wales, as of Tuesday'.https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/intensive-care-covid-patients-vaccinated-b976181.html

Seems plenty of evidence symptoms are less worse with Vaccine, but true those with can still spread it, many of which have the virus and asymptomatic. Governments favour vaccinated people & if get sick 'less likely to clog up their health care systems'.

Or maybe the government control everything so can control what ever we are told, 

They didn’t tell us we are part of a trial when we all started getting jabbed
