If I don't belong to one of these categories, when can I fly to Spain?

At the moment it is unknown. The temporary non-essential travel restriction is in effect for now until June 15 of this year. But it could be extended for several more weeks.

I am not a resident in Spain, but I am a property owner in Spain or I have a rented property. Can I travel to Spain, even if there is a travel restriction?

If you are not a resident in Spain, you can only travel to Spain if you belong to one of the aforementioned categories, even if you own a property or have rented a property.

I have been authorized to enter Spain, because I belong to one of the categories indicated above. Will I have to remain in quarantine?

Yes, you must remain in quarantine the 14 days following your arrival in Spain. This means that you must stay at your home or in your accommodation during these 14 days. You can only go out if you have to buy food or basic products, if you have to go to the doctor or you have a cause of force majeure or a situation of need.

When will I be able to travel to Spain without having to keep this quarantine?

No, in that case you will not have to remain in quarantine, unless you have been in contact with people diagnosed with Covid-19.
