I know if you're having treatment in Spain that you'll be checking constantly (as I have been) but ICYMI, essential travel by air from the UK was allowed again after 30 March.
Good luck senoritas!

Hi GiantPanda, I’m like you and checking constantly. I’m still a little confused about it as a load of Brits were turned back from Alicante airport this week (on the 30th) because the Border workers were saying that they didn’t have an essential reason to travel into Spain(they were picking up post Brexit residency documents after being advised by Spanish officials in country they they were ready for collection, and they had all the paperwork to prove it). I’m concerned about Spain not listing medical appointments as an essential reason to travel the way the UK have. I need to travel into Alicante.x
We're not expecting a smooth run, half expecting to not even get out of this country! We're going to try though. My clinic has said they've had the go ahead from their end, which has given me a little confidence because this is the first time they haven't tried to put me off trying to come. I have to get a decent scan on Weds first - all of this could be academic if my lining isn't right! 🤞
Thank you! Been waiting for the go-ahead to make my appointment in Alicante. Good luck🤞🏽🤞🏽
This is what I saw this morning on news.
They are extending the restrictions until end of April ...
Thanks for the post. I'll be interested to hear how everyone gets on and if there's anyone from Scotland in particular trying to get to Alicante. We have to stay in quarantine hotels on return from all countries 😬. Good luck all🤞🤞
Awesome news hun!! Thinking of you!🤗xxx
GiantPanda- a quick message to say good luck.. I hope you got into Spain yesterday
Thank you! I'd been planning to post - but yes we're in Barcelona. It was all very straightforward. The only questionning we had was at check in at Manchester: asking for reason and proof of travel. We had to complete another form on our flight to Paris, passport check there, and then in Barcelona the QR code was scanned but no passport check or questions. The QR code must have provided everything they needed. We didn't relax properly until we were completely out of the airport though.I'd been pestering the Spanish Consulate and everything before we left, but it was nothing like I imagined it would be! Hope you get your trip sorted soon! Xx
Awww fabulous news hun!! I'm so happy you've gotten out there. Best of luck with transfer and I hope you can have some down time in lovely Barcelona!😘🤗xxx
Thanks Cinders! It feels great to be out of the UK. I wish it was for different reasons, but making the most of the rest and lovely surroundings. Xx
I know what you mean hut at least you get a little down time which was always the part of going to Athens I enjoyed. Soak up that sun lovely and wishing you all the luck in the world!xxx
👏🏽👏🏽Brilliant! I am very happy for you. And thank you-Good luck out there🙂
