Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced on Sunday night that the country will reopen its borders with all European Union and Schengen-area countries on June 21.

The exception will be Portugal, which will have to wait until July 1 on the request of the Portuguese government. 

The Spanish state's government confirmed on Sunday evening that despite having left the bloc earlier this year, the United Kingdom is still considered an EU member state given that it is in a transition period and enjoys full membership rights.

This means that UK travelers will also be able to enter the Spanish state from June 21. As for travelers from outside the European Union and the Schengen free-travel area, they will be allowed to enter the Spanish State from 1 July, provided there is a reciprocal agreement on travel and taking into account the epidemiological situation in the country of origin, among other factors.
