Just to add my one pennies worth of unsubstantiated opinion, I don’t know if Spain will be the problem. As has been noted, there are shoots of hope in Italy and here - even if our new infection rate has started to rise again (up to around 630 I believe now after dropping to the low 500’s)
Let’s take very VERY best case scenario which will see easing of restrictions gradually over the month of May until by start of June we are sort of back to normal - that’s a very big ask, but like I say, very very best case.....
... the issue then won’t be so much in Spain, but in visitors from countries with high population densities (i.e. UK) with high infection rates and very weak quarantine restrictions (i.e. UK). It’s entirely feasible that Spain, while slowly coming back to economic survivability, may close its borders to visitors from UK / USA until as such time the infection rate has dropped significantly and visitors from those countries are deemed “safe”
PLEASE NOTE: this is PURELY my opinion, completely unsubstantiated. I have not heard this as a rumour anywhere, just my thoughts.
