There’s just one snag: Spain is on the UK’s “amber” list, from which arrivals must self-isolate for 10 days.
Only four nations are feasible destinations among the 12 “green” countries and territories announced by the transport secretary, Grant Shapps: Portugal, Iceland, Israel and Gibraltar.
We expect that the next round of green list destinations to be announced some time between 1 and 7 June, and that it will take effect a week later.
