From February 14, foreign visitors aged 12-17 from non-EU countries who don’t have a valid vaccination certificate can enter Spain if they can show a negative PCR or similar Covid-19 test taken 72 hours before arrival, the industry, trade and tourism ministry said in a statement.

Spain eased Covid-19 rules for teenage holidaymakers from countries outside of the European Union such as the U.K., giving a boost to the tourism industry in the Canary Islands and other winter sun destinations.
