Germany extends the travel warning for the EU country Spain. At first only parts of northern Spain and Madrid were affected, now also the Balearic Islands and the mainland. These were declared a risk area and at the same time the travel warning of the highest level was issued.

Package holidaymakers now have the opportunity to withdraw from their booked trips free of charge. This is enshrined in law and out of the question. However, people who have organized their holiday in Spain individually are dependent on the goodwill of the airline and other service providers.

The classification of the Balearic Islands, which also includes the island of Mallorca, which is particularly popular with Germans, means that a PCR test must be carried out on return. In contrast to Austria, however, this is free of charge in Germany. The Alpine republic has not yet issued a travel warning for the Balearic Islands, but has issued a travel warning for mainland Spain. The only area of ​​Spain for which neither Austria nor Germany have issued a travel warning are the Canary Islands.
