Weighing up whether to go to Spain or not
My missus is hinting but I’ve told her that I want a full report off someone who’s been re. the bars and restaurants situation, the beach, pools etc, in fact the lot. I’d be reluctant to go with (understandable) restrictions, my idea of a holiday is full freedom.
we might have a theme park break in Holland ( Eftiling ) in Oct, we can drive over
we went last year and had plans to go back next year, but i dont fancy a flight
I'm based in Barcelona, about 1 to 2 weeks ago we've seen the restrictions lifted more or less. However, we are starting to witness a massive increase in cases. 2 things, we are testing a lot more and the death rate is still very very low. I suspect if it increase we'll see some sort of lockdown.Quote:

Agreed, I'd rather wait and be able to feel like I'm on an actual holiday not some sort of cheated holiday if that makes senseQuote:

Going to Granada on July 16th.Quote:

Full freedom? Either let the wife go and stay at home yourself or go on your own. Job done. :getscoat:Quote:

Its not even just the plane or the transfer etc, you can catch it anywhere and the thought of me or my wife being stuck in a foreign hospital alone, no visitors potentially no contact if really ill. Not for me.
Thinly veiled are the beaches in Cap D'Agde open yet post I thought!Quote:

I’ve hired a 9 seater and driving over via the Eurotunnel. We’re going on 20th July for two weeks.
The small town Centre of Eymet is 200m away from where we are staying which has a few restaurants and bars if we do decide to venture out.
I thought it Safer than flying to a beach resort thus possibly avoiding the issue of being turned away from overcrowded beaches or hotel pools and byvhaving our own place so we are well distanced from others.
I’d been in Contact with the villa owner (which is normally a 4 bed B&B but they’re giving the whole property to us exclusively) for weeks anticipating the quarantine restrictions being lifted and they held it for us, as it suited them to have one family staying long term.
Luckily it paid off.
Eurotunnel was only £202 for the car and all of us... bargain
Quite possibly one of the nicest locations without tourist, hope it works out for you :thumbup:Quote:
