Morning, we are coming to Nerja from Liverpool on 8th sept. We have rented a villa in El Capistrano  village. We are staying for 4 months. We are a little concerned if spain decides to insist on 14 days quarantine for visitors, which i completely understand. Are spanish quarantine rules the same as the uk, that you dont leave your house for that time. If this is the case how are we going to be able to buy groceries. We don't know anyone in spain to help us out. Thanks x

The Foreign Office is advising against all but essential travel to Spain . If you ignore that and travel anyway , your travel insurance and the EHIC are invalidated .

I was in the same position as you, but luckily they dropped the quarantine rules before I came over. I had planned to go to a supermarket on the way from the airport, but didn’t need to. There is a Nerja Facebook page and I’m sure, if you join that, someone will help you. I’m in Antequera or I would have volunteered. Good luck, and have a wonderful time.

Hi there,

If quarantine is imposed, I guess going out for two weeks will be a pain but, not too bad if you are here for 4 months. Mercadona do deliveries and their site is available in English so, that's probably your best bet

On a different note, your travel insurance may be invalid but, the EHIC will still cover you for emergencies.

Have a lovely time!

If you intend to be in Nerja for 4 months, you need to be aware that after 31st December a Brit can only stay in Spain for 90 days in every rolling 180 unless you get residency. It is not clear how this will affect you so you need to check with the FO. Some people are guessing that the 90 days will be calculated from 1st January but technically it still could be calculated from the date you left the UK. I would definitely check as the overstay fine is quite hefty.
