Brits heading for the Canary Islands face a major change in travel rules from tomorrow (December 10) after the regional government decided to defy Spain over coronavirus tests.
As of December 10, the Canary government says international holidaymakers won't be required to take a full PCR test within 72 hours of travel as required by the rest of Spain.
Instead, they will be allowed in on the back of negative rapid antigen tests which are a fraction of the price of the PCRs. The Canary government is insisting it has the authority to make its own rules over who and how people are admitted to the islands and does not intend to enter into a head-on clash with the Spanish executive.
