The UK government has released updated travel guidance for British citizens visiting Spain following the discovery of human remains during the search for 19-year-old Jay Slater.
The search for 19-year-old Brit, Jay Slater , who vanished in Tenerife, has led to the discovery of a body nearly a month on. The Civil Guard said today that human remains were found in the Masca area where Mr Slater had disappeared.
Mr Slater was last seen by a café owner asking about bus times before deciding not to wait for two hours. She then saw him leave the village on foot, with his phone's final signal traced to the Rural de Teno National Park. Transport risks: Before travelling, it's advised to confirm with airlines, tour operators, or transport providers about any potential strikes that could affect your plans. For those intending to drive in Spain, a UK photocard driving licence is accepted.
Passengers found using unlicensed taxi services could face fines of up to 600 euros. It's recommended to book your taxi or airport transfer through a licensed firm. Swimming in the sea requires caution. Certain beaches, particularly around Spanish islands, may have strong undercurrents. Hidden rocks or shallow depths can lead to serious injury or even death. Avoid diving into unknown waters and refrain from swimming at beaches where a river meets the sea.
Wildfires are also common in Spain, including on the islands, during the summer months. Be mindful of your surroundings when visiting or driving through woodland areas. For information on wildfire risk, visit the Spanish Meteorological Office . "For security reasons, some public authorities in Spain do not allow the burka or niqab to be worn in their buildings. If you visit town council buildings wearing a burka or niqab, you may be asked to remove it while inside."
