Spain is now amber according to the government's traffic light system for foreign travel, where countries are classed as green, amber, and red with different rules for quarantine and COVID-19 tests.
Asked about Prime Minister Boris Johnsons's advice that people shouldn't be holidaying in amber list countries, Mr Nigel Wonnacott, from Brittany Ferries, said most passengers were second homeowners who believed it was essential to sail to check on their properties.
