When will the Spain quarantine be reviewed?
From July 27, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advised against all non-essential travel to Spain, including the Balearic and Canary Islands.
The advice is based on evidence of increases in cases of Covid-19 in several regions, particularly in Aragon, Navarra and Catalonia - which include the cities of Zaragoza, Pamplona and Barcelona.
Initially, the UK reviewed the nations included on the "safe" list every three weeks, but now a rolling review system could see countries removed from the list at short notice.
Travellers will be asked to provide the Spanish Ministry of Health with mandatory contact information and any history of Covid-19 exposure 48 hours prior to travel.
They will also be subject to a temperature check and a visual health assessment.
Anyone entering the country must provide contact details and then self-isolate for 14 days, or face a fine of up to £1,000.
Police are conducting checks to ensure people are quarantining and not leaving their residence for the two-week period.
Magistrates also have the powers to prosecute or to issue unlimited fines for persistent breaches of the new self-isolation rule, or for refusal to pay a fine that has already been issued.
The quarantine is being run and enforced by Border Force, cops, and Public Health England officials.
Brits living in the UK can quarantine at their own home, but they are not allowed to leave the house for a fortnight.
Anyone without accommodation should be provided alternative accommodation by the government.
How can I cancel my holiday?
Consumer group Which? says that it's crucial you wait for the holiday company to cancel your trip if you want a chance of getting your money back.
If you have a package holiday booked to Spain you are likely to be entitled to a full refund as the FCO advices essential travel only.
Do not cancel it yourself, instead wait for your holiday provider to get in contact - otherwise you won't be entitled to compensation.
For hotels and flights booked individually, if the airline cancels the flight, you will be refunded.
If the flight hasn't been cancelled by the airline, you will not be automatically entitled to a refund.
