Spain will lift its quarantine for foreign tourists on July 1, the Spanish government announced Monday, two days after announcing the reopening of borders to international tourism in July.

"The government will lift the quarantine of foreign tourists on July 1," announced Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez after a cabinet meeting dedicated to tourism, a pillar of the Spanish economy.

"Spain is waiting for you"

In order to avoid new cases of infection with the coronavirus during the gradual easing of restrictive measures, a two-week quarantine is mandatory for all Spaniards and foreigners entering the country from May 15.

"The worst is behind us. In July, we will gradually open to international tourists, lift quarantine measures and ensure the highest safety and health standards," Foreign Affairs Minister Aranča Gonzalez announced on Twitter.

"Spain is waiting for you," said Gonzalez.

The return of tourists is of key importance for the second world tourist destination. Tourism accounts for 12 percent of Spain's GDP.
