France warned its nationals against travelling to Spain or Portugal on holiday because of a spike in Covid-19 cases caused by the highly contagious Delta variant, AFP reported.
France currently allows people to travel to all other EU members as long as they are fully vaccinated or present a negative PCR or antigen test on their return.
But Europe Minister Clement Beaune pointedly advised the French against crossing the Pyrenees mountains to Spain or Portugal.
“For those who have not yet booked their holidays, avoid Spain and Portugal as a destination,” he told France 2 television. “It's better to remain in France or go to other countries.”
