Katy Katy Katy. Thank you very much for that it was full of positivity and help. We were out between 5 and 19 July and loved it. Obviously the getting there on public transport was a worry, but once there it was much better than UK. We don't at the moment know anyone so socialising is just the tw...

...o of us. We don't smoke, don't have any issues don't kiss the waiting staff and don't lick the plates. We are young retirees and don't really do anything in Spain that we dont do at home.  Disco is a thing of the past for us, a quiet bar and meal for two is now perfect. Our worry was the apparent worsening in Spain caused by the youngsters like in the UK though Spain seems to be going down hill much quicker. 

Was concerned Spain would close the borders and having to quarantine both sides. We are planning a 7 week stay though suppose could swap the return flight if necessary, though it could go to 3 times the price over night! We are still planning on coming but planning work is  difficult as the situation is changing daily. Never mind that though just thanks for the help 👍😷🤞

Juanida thanks to you too. This has been an interesting feed. Must do it again. Keep updating please👍

I posted earlier in this thread, you have some negative comments, but from someone who has been in Mojacar since 2001, as long as you abide by the rules, you will not have a problem, I have been here throughout the lockdown and always felt perfectly safe. Some people get a little paranoid about t...

Interesting post full of useful thoughts and information, I will continue to follow as we are hoping to get back to the area soon but not ready yet.

I too am apprehensive about visiting Mojacar. I haven't been there since February 2020 and wondering whether to travel during October/November having dismissed August and September.

1. I have no fears of the cleanliness of restaurants/supermarkets/shops. I understand all are making excellent efforts to keep their establishment Covid free....

2. I have fears of the plonkers (a) Who refuse to wear face masks (b) Who don't observe all anti Covid recommendations (c) "Hard" Cases who hang their face masks on restaurant/bar parasols to dry (d) Who do not know how to wear and adjust face masks and keep touching everything they see in supermarkets/shops (e) Who think anti Covid rules do not apply to them (f) Who think they can throw their arms around you and kiss you on the cheek (g) Who use apartment complex swimming pools and do not clean after them (h) Situations in departure and arrival airports, cleanliness on transfer services (i) assholes on transfer services and elsewhere who continuously pontificate their own safety over others instead of sharing their concerns. 

3. Nobody can say at this stage that things won't improve or worsen in the area (although we're never short of "experts" on the matter). 

4. It might cost a few bob extra to book flights later, but that's no big deal in the greater scheme of things. You can play Ryanair "roulette" and book and if you are prepared to kiss Adios to the few bob if you fail to travel then well and good.

I think we have decided to definitely travel now barring a total lockdown and border closure. It's clear from the thread some people are wondering if they should or shouldn't travel to the area and visit second homes .  In view of that we will update about our journey in, and the state of pl...

...ay at resort, as we find it. 

if members haven't caught "Spain Speaks" on YouTube can I suggest you have a look. It's a really good daily update on the Spanish situation. 

Take care everyone.
