UPDATE – With the current frequently changing restrictions, it often remains unclear where you can travel in Spain. Where can you go and where not? During the bridge over Semana Santa and San José , there are entry restrictions for all regions with the exception of both island groups.
These restrictions also apply to the long weekend around San José (Father’s Day) next Friday, March 19. In otherwords, it applies from 17 to 21 March and from 26 March to 9 April. Outside of specified dates, only the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, and Extremadura do not have a permimetral lockdown. The permitted mobility between the different provinces differs per region. RTVE update this information several times a day with details received from the autonomous communities.
