To add a little to this; until all provinces complete phase 3, movement between the provinces is prohibited.  The earliest that that could have occurred is 22 June, but that is now delayed at least two weeks as not all provinces commence phase 1 de escalation tomorrow; Madrid, Granada and Malaga to name 3 are being re-evaluated in 2 weeks.

At the moment, Spain’s borders are closed to everyone except citizens, those holding residency and cross border workers.  France has stated it will open its borders to some, but I believe that is with 14 day quarantine.  It is unlikely Spain will open its borders until the de-escalation has been completed in all provinces, so we are looking at early July at the very earliest.  I imagine that even then, there will be quarantine restrictions for new arrivals.

Apropo if that, Austria have instituted a mandatory test on arrival, for which you are charged 200€.  Again, I would not be surprised to see Spain follow a similar path.

Hang in there those of you waiting to get back - it will happen, just probably not before early July.

Thanks for all your comments, first reply from Derek was sufficient, and answered my questions, Apologies to the forum,  I didn’t want it to turn into political opinions and complaints on how people are behaving in the U.K. 

Might not be much but at least things seem to be moving.

Spain's government gives go-ahead to holiday homes visits within de-escalation Phase one zones is good news for Costa Almeria, Mallorca and areas of Costa Blanca.   9 may 2020   Just a line from w.euroweeklynews.com followed by more detailed information.  I'm keeping an eye on events as I also have an apartment in Almeria and I have not been there since January.

Hi Darren....We are in a similar....but a little bit more complex situation.....We bought in Los Gallardos at Christmas....and came back to rent out our home here as we intend to get Spanish Residencia.....this could not be done before we left as all appointments were cancelled due to Brexit....W...

...e came back here and signed off our home as a rental, only to find within days that we can't get back to Spain....So are homeless! As I say we do not have residencia.....only the deeds/ bank account and S1's....We are living in a friends small studio above a garage, and our furniture is in Storage......There have been no cases of Covid near to us, and everyone is behaving and staying in doors....BUT we can not find out whether we can return with our belongings!!!! Someone mentioned on a site that we could come and self isolate for 14 days....but how will that work when we have to bring back the empty van??? !!!! Then fly back to where our car is in Alicante. No sense from anywhere about getting back so I feel for you.... 

Hi NannieH

Wow.... please don’t feel for me, it’s nothing to what you’re going through, really hope you get sorted quick 

Really sorry for your situation, please put on the site when you’re home and safe

Totally agree Jack the leadership is in common with the 7 dwarfs 

I resent that comment...that an insult to the dwarfs they would be very upset to be compared to BoJo and his cronies that couldn't organise their way out of paper bag.Talk about an Ununited United Kingdom,last night statement has now alienated the other three countries.They are all doing different strategies now🙁

I don't either  but I am not sure as to what exactly you are referring to by that comment about our counrty. I live in the North of England and we have strictly observed the Lockdown in full from the beginning.  The result is in my small town which has no traffic or any breaches of the ...

...lockdown so we haven't had any cases or deaths. I think it's fair to say that we are doing our absolute best to shield all our vulnerable citizens. We are giving full and honest figures of cases and all deaths including those in care homes in all our four countries unlike some other countries  and we have taken care of all our people who died respectfully. 

England never went into lockdown and they are not giving the full numbers of deaths as for your 4 countries I don't know where you got that from .

Err I believe you can today exercise as much as you please but if you go for instance over the border into  a park in Wales and loiter /sunbathe etc you would be breaking the law.

Northern Ireland is not a country it's made up of 6 counties it's called a province.

He is probably referring to the unprecedented amount of Brit bashing , from brits I’m afraid . 

Sorry to say but that’s the reality and I for one am disgusted by it .
