Link to relevant article. Note from CAB: the way we read this is that for organised travel for those that meet the requisites for exemption from the restrictions in place for non-essential travel as described in the article quoted,  to any of the other Spanish (airports), from non-EU countries, there would have to be a special dispensation.

In any case, the necessary sanitary control measures will be adopted to prevent them from posing a risk to the population of our country.
