What to do if you know that someone is breaking lock down on a daily basis. 

The stupidity of people who think they are above the law and who put our entire village of Los Martinez and surrounding villages at risk. 

This couple go out nearly on a daily basis in there car for hours, visit others, and have people over with no concerns that they put everyone in our village at risk to the virus.

A blatant disrespect for the law and others, including for those in the country whom are fighting for their lives. 

Something must be done. These people have no honor and only think of themselves.... It's a show of blatant disrespect....

If you believe it is unlawful and putting everyone at risk , you should report it. First duty is the safety of your family and fellow residents.

Do you know them well enough to voice your concerns?  If so I’d point out the error of their ways Nicely and make it clear it’s only a matter of time before ‘some random stranger’ files a complaint with the guardia.  Their behaviour is affecting all of us.

No. I Don't know them personally. 

But They are both known in the village. 

I found this link while reading the Spanish press. They should heed a warning as next time the Guardia will knock on there door. The Guardia Civil have been notified.

This shows a lack a care for society, selfishness,  and above all breaking the laws introduced to protect everyone. There is a confirmed case in Turree so it's moving about again, getting closer.

Tell them of your concern, if they are rude then report them, you could save somebody's life or many

there is the other side of this or course they may be needing to assist others who are vunerable with shopping etc but if they are having others visit them then as you say they probably think it doesn't apply to them.   We have the same thing inside our complex because they know each other they don't think it is a problem visiting each others flats.  but of courser they go out to shop and have the chance of catching and bringing the virus home.  We also watch families walking a dog as they know the police won't come up here.  But as long as we keep inside and stay safe they can take the chance and see what happens.

As you say visiting others who are vulnerable, is one thing. But this is not the case here. Blatant disrespect for the laws set out to protect not only them but everyone else. They should be ashamed. 

We don't have the virus in our tiny community, but it is people like this that endanger everyone in the community. 

It's wrong and a blatant disregard for safety, and for those good folk who are trying to get this under control. 

I personally think it's disgusting that people act this way in times where a single touch can make someone seriously ill or die. 

It's just disgusting...

I quite agree with you.  It is indeed selfish and thoughtless.  As you probably know, the town hall is closed but the municipal police next door to the town hall are open and  might like an off the record  tip-off.  The Guardia may visit this couple but a visit from the Municipals wouldn't be a bad idea either and could consolidate the warning.

You can also download the free ministry of interior App “AlertCops” and use that to contact the police

People ARE allowed to walk dogs of course and it seems to be discretionary as to how far away from your house.  In some cases as lit.tle as 200 metres, which isn't much for large active dog.
