Whether you’re allowed to travel to the Canary Islands will depend on where you live. As the Foreign Office hasn’t updated its travel advice for the Canary Islands, the two operators are still running trips as normal. The Foreign Office said: “From 10 December, a TMA swab test or a LAMP test are also accepted by Spanish authorities, again taken within no more than 72 hours prior to arrival.” Meanwhile, the Canary Islands have issued a list of approved testing centres in the UK. From 15 December, travellers who live in England may opt to leave self-isolation early by paying for a Lamp test five days after they leave a country that’s not on the travel corridors list.
