Hi everyone,

I have a flight booked for Sat 4th July for 5 daysbut am not sure whether to cancel it, or chance it and go ahead. First of all will we be allowed in? If so Will we have to stay on our hotel? As I have booked to view some properties as I want to buy a property around Fuengirola/Mijas.  The Estate agent said it will be fine, but of course they would say that. Please let me know how you think things will be as far as restrictions are concerned Unless of course things suddenly change for the worse.
thank

Carole

All you can really do is read news updates from official sources. Individuals opinions, regardless of how well meaning they may be, won't get you into Spain.

Keep reading the news and checking with your airline.

Good luck!

Hi,
Thanks for your honesty. It is touch and go at the moment.  Are you in Spain? If so what is the situation with restaurants and bars. Are some opening up? Or are they still shut.

I think it depends on whether the UK drops the 14 days quarantine requirement or not. If they do, then Spain will drop theirs. So, it seems as if it's up to the UK government. Good luck!

Thanks again.  Yes looks like it’s fingers and toes crossed. 🤞

Hi Carol, I'm going on the 29th June (flight departure permitted) & at the moment it's looking like a 2 week commitment to fixing up my permanent trailer near Calahonda... I'm hoping the idiots in our government apply some common sense, but I won't hold my breath!

I think you'll get out there, and if you're staying in a hotel or resort apartment, the estate agents will ferry you around (masks & social distancing rules in place of course) but then return you to isolate.

Hope all goes well...

Ian.
