Hi All,

We are/were looking forward to being able to visit the UK after the 19 July. Only to find that we are still not able to go 'isolation free'.

It seems that the UK gov do not recognise the vaccination that Spain are giving to Ex-Pats and the Spanish population at large.

But people travelling from UK to Spain don't have to quarantine here if they have had their full vaccinations. What difference does it make whether we have the vaccinations here or by the NHS.
