We are a couple of EU citizens who were planning to rent in Competa from 1 May to 31st December with a view of staying there and living in Spain if all worked out well.   Our accomodation was all ready and booked but unfortunately we are still at home and nowhere near Spain.  My question is this: Does anybody have any idea when it will be possible to move to Competa?  We are planning on travelling by ferry from Portsmouth to Bilbao in our car as we have two dogs with us.  We would like to book the ferry asap but have no idea of when this will be possible.  We do not have the residencia in Spain and we have EU passports.

Honestly, right now, you may as well ask Mystic Meg as nobody can answer your questions. Rumour has it that you'll be able to travel from July but that's rumour or suggestion only. Not fact. It isn't by any means guaranteed yet and things change quickly. It may been sooner albeit unlikely, it may be later. And as for travelling with dogs. Maybe that won't have an impact but maybe it will. I realise that you are looking for advice and you want to get on with what will be a life change and it should be an exciting time for you when it turns out that its just frustrating but right now all you can do is wait it out like the rest of us I'm afraid.

Good luck for when it does become possible again!

Hi there,

Yes, it's very frustrating for you and I sympathise but, I can't say anything new on this, only to support what Andy P has said. I suggest you keep an eye on news coming out on Fridays and Saturdays, as that's when those kind of decisions are made and announced. Papers like El Pais in English, or if you are on Facebook, there's a few pages that will give you the info hot off the press. I've seen some mention in UK media that Spain is opening up in July but, it's only been suggested as an aim. It's really not possible to say at this stage, I'm afraid.

Good luck, I hope you get here soon!

Hi Andy thanks for your reply.  I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed then.

Hi thanks for your advice.  I am in a facebook group for Competa and keep up with the news but in the UK heard that flights are opening up again end of June to Spain.  Although we are going by ferry I guess if flights start up again it should be ok to travel by ferry.  Keeping my fingers crossed.
