Spanish News in English EL PAÍS

Dear readers,

The big news this week was the announcement that Spain will now require UK travelers to present a negative coronavirus test or proof of full vaccination due to concerns over the delta variant.

The changes come amid a surge in contagions among young people in Spain, with one outbreak linked to students returning from vacations in Mallorca leading to more than 1,000 cases.

In other news, the Spanish government has approved a draft bill that paves the way for gender self-identification. The document, which still needs to undergo review and secure parliamentary backing, has been described as "a giant leap for the rights of trans and LGBTI people.”

And finally, we looked at why young Spaniards are taking longer than other Europeans to leave home.

We hope you enjoy this selection of articles from the EL PAÍS English Edition.

Thanks for reading.
