Government sources are also telling the press that UK vaccine passports for travel will be ready next month. The EU has been developing its own passport, or certificate, and Spain has been adamant that it will open to British tourism with or without a wider European passport scheme.
The Spanish government has said the country will be ready for foreign visitors by June and British travellers look set to be first in line thanks to the UK's successful vaccine rollout and the fact that Brits contribute significantly to Spain's travel industry.
