Dear customers, the health of our customers is very important to us and due to the situation around COVID-19 we may have to reschedule your rental at a later date. We therefore advise customers who leave within 15 days to contact us. We will regularly post updates to keep you informed of the local developments here in Spain.
COVID-19 – (update 18.05.20)
We received some latest news about Spain opening up their borders, according Transport Minister Ábalos this will take place towards the end of June. The date will be when the local population of Spain is allowed to travel within the country.
Ábalos confía en que el turismo internacional se reinicie a finales de junio
COVID-19 – (update 16.05.20)
It’s time for another update. Phase I has now started in most of Spain or will start on Monday.
Overall, this means the following for us in the south of Spain:
- Family and friends can meet. The maximum number of people is 10 and with a distance of 2 meters.
- The retail trade is allowed to open with the observance of 30% capacity of the permitted public. The large shopping centers remain closed with the exception of food sales that may take place there.
- Terraces from bars and restaurants will open with an occupancy rate of 50% (previously 30% had been announced).
- Hotels and tourist apartments will open. For the time being, without using the public areas.
free travel within the province is allowed for families. - Museums and libraries will open.
For us it means that we are open to the public from Monday May 18.
In short, a step forward and on to phase II now. Regarding international air traffic, we get a lot of questions about when it will be possible to fly again.
The answer at this point is that we don’t know. The opening of the borders is expected to take place in an EU context or be agreed between a number of EU countries.
We expect to hear about this only in 2 or 3 weeks, we take into account that no international tourism will be allowed in June or possibly starting up again from the last week of June. So far, hopefully we will be soon back for more news.
