The Balearics is among a number of Spain's regions that are continuing with certain Covid measures for hospitality and nightlife.

There are five regions with no restrictions. Others have made measures for hospitality and capacity more flexible, but nightlife is still closed in Catalonia as it is in most of the municipalities in Cantabria. The Canaries is the only region to have tightened measures, specifically in La Gomera.

Asturias has joined Castile-La Mancha, Castile and León, Extremadura and Madrid in not applying any restrictions. Nightlife in Asturias reopened on Thursday and consumption inside bars is now also permitted.

In Galicia, measures have been made more flexible. A curfew on gatherings at night has been lifted. Nightlife can now open until four in the morning during the week and five at the weekend. The Covid passport is still required in order to enter clubs and other establishments.
