Gran Canaria

[Peanutgurgle]

I just want some reassurance. Heading to Gran Canaria with our children. DS is 12 but will only just have had his second vaccination. Am I right that he just needs PCR within 72hrs of arrival? DH and I need to do a Lat flow within 24hrs or arrival (we are both double vaccinated). Is this all correct?

Where did you get the idea that adults have to take a lateral flow when you arrive? Is that specific to your hotel? You're all good with being double vaccinated you won't need to do anything else, then for children just make sure you take the PCR within 72 hours

Will your ds be 14 days on from his 2nd vaccine? If so he wouldn't need to test. If any of you have to test its prior to departure. If you and your dh are fully vaccinated you dont need to test (depends when 2nd dose was)

I thought Spain had relaxed the laws? I know they are still tracking Covid etc. Check the latest guidance on gov. Of course it’s subject to change, if cases/hospitalisations rise.

I’m more confused than when I started. DH and I are double jabbed. DS has only just had his second jab so it appears to me that he needs a PCR as he is between 12-17yrs. It also indicated on the Gran Canaria website that DH and I need a lat flow to enter despite being double jabbed. We are all from the UK. I was hoping someone who had recently travelled there would be able to clarify. Thank you

Passengers must meet the following requirements:

Control form. We recommend completing the form digitally, including all of the necessary documents in order to speed up airport checks (fast control). If you are travelling on a cruise ship, this is the form you need to complete.
Certificate of full vaccination against COVID-19. Accompanying persons under the age of 12 are exempt. Residents of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland travelling directly from their country must arrive in Spain with a vaccination certificate or a Certificate of recovery.
Passengers aged between 12 and 17 must have a negative PCR test taken a maximum of 72 hours before arrival.
In addition, a Diagnostic Test of Active COVID-19 Infection will be required regardless of vaccination status or prior infection, for third countries at high risk only. Antigen tests taken a maximum of 24 hours before arrival in Spain and NAAT tests (PCR, TMA, LAMP) taken a maximum of 72 hours before arrival in Spain will be accepted. You can check whether your country is a risk country here.
Third countries not considered risk countries are excluded from this rule. Their citizens may enter on the same terms of access as those for risk countries of the EU and Schengen (see point 1.1). Check here.

Was yours and dh's second jab within 27O days? Is your 12 year doc's second jab within 14 days?

I was confused by the different responses as to what we did/didn’t need to do pixie5121. My husband and I are both vaccinated within the specified time but the Canary Islands website seems to suggest that we also need lateral flows within 24hrs prior to arriving as we are travelling from the UK. My son will need the PCR within 72hrs prior to arrival in Gran Canaria. Anyhoo, I think we have belts and braced it. I was just seeking clarification. You might not find it confusing but I do and wanted to be sure we hadn’t missed anything. Thanks all.

We are a risk country not a High risk country so I don't think you need to test if your 2nd dose was within the rime limit

No high risk countries so you don't need proof of vaccine plus a test
