Countries where you can travel after COVID 19

The state of alarm has come to an end in Spain after 14 months and in most communities the perimeter closures are no longer applied, but where can I travel or move?

We collect information from the media, international organizations, embassies and ministries so that you know where and how you can travel again this spring and this summer. And we extend all the information about the Covid Passport here.

It is important to bear in mind that if you are vaccinated with the complete guideline and you are a COVID passport holder, you will not have to take advantage of the averages detailed here, but the related ones with the COVID passport that you can read here.

Those vaccinated with 1 dose can now travel to the Balearic Islands without PCR or antigens.

Germany removes Spain from the high-risk list for COVID19. Although they must continue to present a negative test, a vaccination certificate or proof of having overcome the disease, people over the age of twelve who enter Germany from Spain will no longer have to keep ten days of quarantine, which could be reduced to five with a negative test.

Within Spain

Given the escalation of the incidence among young people between 20 and 29 years of age, many autonomous communities have once again announced restrictions that vary from one to another according to their incidence, however, this does not limit the possibilities of traveling between communities and outside the National territory. That said, even if mobility between territories is allowed, we recommend that you check specifically with the website of the health ministry of each Autonomous Community to see if they require entry registration upon arrival.

Where to perform the PCR to travel?

We recommend carrying out a PCR test in a private clinic or center designated for this purpose because, to access this test through Social Security, you should have symptoms or have been in direct contact with a positive person for COVID-19. All related information can be obtained here.   PCR price is €100 in most clinics (PCR Creublanca –  PCR Sanitas) although you can find cheaper, from €79. They can also be done at Barcelona El Prat airport T1 and all the information can be obtained here. It can become the most comfortable option if you can opt for the realization of antigens to fly to the destination, as is the case with Ibiza.
