Get in touchSunvil's approach to holidays in Spain is refreshing. Our aim is to introduce our guests to the real country, away from the popular seaside resorts and tourist honeypots. We want our guests to experience local life, experience the country's wondrous natural settings and cultural sites, and, most of all, return home with the feeling that they have discovered somewhere special.
Since lockdown was announced, and before, we have been closely monitoring government guidance, regional policies and have maintained a continuous dialogue with our colleagues in Spain. Below we have highlighted the facts and guidelines relating to accommodation, shops and services. It is important to note that guidelines are being updated daily and you should contact us should you have any specific questions or concerns.

IMPORTANT: Mainland Spain has been removed from the UK's travel corridor. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office currently advise all but essential travel to the country.
Travellers to Spain are required to complete a Health Control Form and obtain a QR code prior to arrival (Full details can be found here or on the Spain Travel Health-SpTH app) and undergo a PCR swab test for the Coronavirus (Covid-19) within 72 hours of arrival.
Note: It is important to note that the negative PCR swab test result is uploaded to the Health Control Form. The test results can be in the original format, written in Spanish or English. Where the Health Control Form cannot be completed electronically it may be submitted in paper format prior to boarding. In this instance, it must be accompanied by the original document certifying the result of the diagnostic test.
On 25 October, the Spanish government declared a nationwide state of emergency which includes a national obligatory overnight curfew (specific curfew times vary, starting between 10pm and midnight and lasting until 6am). It also provides regional governments with legal powers to impose further mobility restrictions in their region if deemed necessary (e.g. entry and exit restrictions to and from specific areas).
Details of the local restrictions in place can be found here.
A Responsible Tourism seal has been developed by the Spanish Secretary of State for Tourism in light of the Coronvirus (Covid-19) pandemic, and is being awarded to establishments that follow official guidelines approved by the Ministry of Health. The seal is non-transferable and must be renewed every year. Further information on the measures adopted can be found below and in the following link:
Access routes to beaches will be managed and close should any stretch of sand reach the deemed safe, carrying capacity limit. On the shore social distancing at 1.5m (except in family groups) must be observed.
