And the timing couldn’t be better, with the Canary Islands dropping all remaining travel restrictions just last week.

President Ángel Víctor Torres made the announcement during the annual Canarian debate, where he confirmed that from March 24th, the Governing Council would ‘suspend all Covid restrictions’ on the islands.

The suspension of these restrictions has seen a return to 100% capacity for restaurants, bars and other venues both indoors and outdoors.

This also applies to all cultural activities, sport, shows, leisure and entertainment facilities, as well as children and youth camps.

Unvaccinated Brits are also permitted to visit any of the islands following the rule upheaval.

However, President Torres stressed that this would be a temporary measure, and that rules would be reinstated should the health situation worsen again.

Torres said: “It is not the end of the pandemic, of course not, we will remain vigilant.”

He added that the decision was a ‘new stage of more normality’ for society thanks to administrations having ‘more tools’ to deal with the virus and control new variants.
