SPAIN will not be placed on the red travel list, reports have claimed.
Over the past week there has been confusion over England's holiday rules and increased fears that Spain could be moved from the 'amber list' to the 'amber watchlist'.
The Times has now claimed that Spain will avoid the travel red list because of a significant drop in cases.

Travelling to the red list requires a 10-day hotel quarantine on return, regardless of vaccination status.
The report by The Times also said there were not enough hotel rooms to qurantine holidaymakers returning from the popular holiday destination.
The travel list will be updated and confirmed by ministers on Thursday.
Officials are expected to announce that Spain will remain on the amber list.

This means the fully vaccinated will be able to return from the holiday hotspot without having to quarantine.
A Whitehall source told the newspaper: "Spain won't be going on the amber watchlist — the only danger is it going red but that's very unlikely.
"Cases are coming down. And they haven't got enough beds to quarantine everybody. So it's not going to happen."
