https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60308259.amp. Another kick in the spuds For people in Spain that rely on British tourists. I hope To god these rules get relaxed before summer.

Haven't the Spaniards suffered enough without having a horde of unvaccinated Brits bringing another wave of infections?

Er, this is entirely by design. The unvaccinated have no other choice but to avoid Spain. Vaccinated people aren't avoiding Spain.

Any problems with teenagers only having one shot or being unable to prove their vaccination status is entirely down to the UK government, which for some reason has messed up the 12-17 age range.

I’ve seen posts regarding brits in their thousands cancelling holidays to Spain but holiday prices do not seem to be coming down, prices seem really expensive this year.

Im double vaccinated and had omicron at Xmas. As it is now I can’t get into Spain as the goal posts have been moved again and now i need yet another jab. So not all vaccinated people are allowed into Spain. People are sick of being made to jump through hoops.

So? I thought the UK had the best vaccine roll-out programme in the whole wide world and the best booster programme in the whole wide world, according to the PM. It can't be a problem, surely?

In England, you need to wait for your booster at least 4 weeks after having had a positive Covid result, and you can enter Spain 2 weeks after.

UK supported Boris and were clearly foolish for believing one word the man said.

He has lied and treated the British people like fools.

Any hoops you refer to that UK citizens have to jump through are entirely self-imposed, so a bit pointless blaming the Spanish for wanting to protect its citizens.

The hoops are mildly annoying - wear a mask, get a series of three (to date) jabs, be prepared to show your vaccine record to enter certain buildings or engage in certain activities, but are hardly life-changing.

What I am "sick of", and I suspect that most people are, are the people who want to argue about the hoops (usually on the basis of something they read on-line) and seem to think that they're special enough to not follow the simple health guidelines that will protect them from serious illness and minimize the risk of spreading the virus to others.

Never seen hotels so expensive in Barcelona.

Except they could be double jabbed by now. Both my 17 and 14 year olds are, and have been for months now. They have also both got their Covid passes on the app, same as my husband and I.

The only people I can see Spain's rule impacting are those that have a child who has turned 12 in the past couple of months, who simply hasn't had time to be double jabbed.

It may also stop people like this ( I bet he is a good man)

Who paid for the return also? The spanish taxpayer? Plus all the forensic charges.

Stingychips

lol. I would think it’s more the younger tourists that are more vaccine hesitant and will look to book their holidays in a place that doesn’t require as many vaccines.

I for one would be glad if that were true :-)

Gozit

I'm confused. I don't think the issue is Stingychips not wanting to get the third jab, it's that by current UK (and most places) rules he cannot currently get a third jab.
