Residents here are supporting local businesses, as they do all winter when its pretty much just the residents anyway. We are trying to support all in our area a bit more than we would normally as most people are, and its good to see people getting about again.
When we went to Santa Pola last Sunday, it was fairly quiet until about 2pm, then the restaurants that were open on the marina front were pretty full. With borders opening more on 1 July, there will no doubt be an influx of holiday homeowners too, i hope they all take care with the their distancing and hygiene as the last thing we want is a resurgence of this awful virus to knock back the recovery and then there can be a getting back to normality for us all, whilst still taking care.
I think its been handled very well out here and I read the other day in El Pais online, which is really good for keeping up with everything, that we in Spain, had only 48 new infections ( 45 of which were in Madriid, which sadly appears to remain the place where this had “mixed among the population the most)
Hopefully the UK will soon follow our low figures and be able to come back to Spain too.
