Posted: November 14th, 2020, 6:55 am
The Spanish government announced on Thursday that with effect from 23rd November, all international arrivals from high risk countries (and that includes the UK) will require a certificate stating that they have received a negative result from a PCR test taken not more than 72 hours prior to arrival in Spain. The certificate which may be in English or Spanish and in paper or digital format must specify
traveler's name, passport number or national identity document or letter (which must coincide with the one used in the Health Control Form), date of the test, identification and contact details of the center conducting the analysis, technique used and negative test result. (Machine translation of Spanish text in BOE.)

This requirement is in addition to that enacted by the Canary Islands government which came into effect yesterday requiring a negative test (test type unspecified) for all tourists including those from Spanish mainland to have had a negative test in the 72 hours prior to arrival.
