Hi All

Yesterday received an urgent email from our German neighbours son requesting our help with shopping for his parents.  They are in their 90's and are now staying at their home in Mojacar whilst he is back in Germany.

The list is considerable so my question is does anyone know whether the supermarkets are restocking before I make the journey out, and are they restricting the quantities you can buy?

Mercadona in Al Andalus (on the way to Vera)! had new stock in this morning but is the basic essentials alot easier to shop this morning than Saturday when it was mayhem.  You just have to get what you can and when their deliveries arrive they have to accept what comes.

little supermarket in Bouganvilla only 3 customers allowed in shop together no restrictions on what you can buy.  Lidls queue outside shop first thing this morning so restrictions on entering shop not sure whether on purchaces.  Chicken man outside cooking his chicks so people could buy a cooked chicken for their dinner.

I was there this morning. All stocked up and not big queues. Announcement in store says to be calm and not stock up, they are getting deliveries everyday. Meat was well stocked, plenty toilet rolls, fruit and veg. This was 10am.

Thankyou to everyone for the update.  Will go tomorrow to see what I can get for them.

I paid a visit to DIA today and a reasonable amount of stock, but no toilet rolls, all staff wearing masks and gloves.
