The UK Foreign Office has updated its advice on Spain to say the country no longer requires face masks to be worn on public transport.

Face masks must still be worn if visiting a hospital or medical centre such as dentist or pharmacy.

Although the wearing of masks hasn’t been a legal requirement for most indoor public settings in Spain since April 20 2022, face coverings on public transport have remained mandatory, with the Spanish government saying the policy would be reviewed in spring 2023.

Spain’s Minister for Health Carolina Darias said: “We are following the roadmap that we planned to return to normality,”
