New travel restrictions for Spain effective 23.11

I read somewhere, amongst all the other gubbins, that Boots are doing a 1 hour turnaround test for about £100 or so. Is there a Boots near ports or airports that could accommodate this?

To be honest it's only an inkling in my mind so best check to see if correct.

Anyone found a way round this?

Yes dont travel to Spain, even when you arrive most areas are in lock down of some sorts, so e.g. if you live in the Murcia region you are not allowed to travel out of the region unless you have a valid reason and a signed letter authorising travel. how long this will continue, who knows, but little point in visiting for a holiday just yet, infections rates are still increasing in many areas.

The FCO website also says that you should not use the NHS testing service to get a test in order to facilitate your travel to another country. You should arrange to take a private test.

Just been speaking to my brother who lives in Spain and he confrims all the above. In addition there are border checks not only with other countries but also on Spanish internal movements and there are hefty fines if you do not have the right documentation to travel.

Yup, my daughter received a caution for walking the dog after the 23:00hrs curfew, she was watching a film indoors and forgot the time, walked fido round the block and got caught.

The Spanish are actually doing this so you can visit this winter and as long as you prove a negative PCR you can carry on your journey,they are not doing this at the road borders at the moment  because they don't have the men to cover all border crossings.

The two regions of Andalusia and Murcia have municipal restrictions where you can't travel even between municipalities we have friends who are stuck in Mazzaron at the moment but every other region like my own of Valencia you can travel within their borders, so where i live i can't travel 20 minutes south to Murcia but can travel four hours north too Benicassim where i have just spent a lovely week away.

You can get a PCR test here for around the e40 mark which takes just five minutes for the result so may be this is something Brittany ferries need to look into for its passengers.

The travel restrictions that come into force on the 23rd November only apply to entry into Spain by air or sea, not to land crossings via France.

Lutz, where does it say that. That is not what I have been told or interpret from press articles.

The Spanish Health Ministry announced this week that Spain will demand a negative PCR test from travelers coming from 60 countries in high coronavirus risk zones. The measure goes into effect on November 23 and will affect residents from most European Union member states.

I can imagine a future scenario where you will have to carry vacination certification. This used to be the case in my travels in my early years. e.g. Typhoid, cholera etc.
