Well we made it with very little problems, we spoke to the police coming out of Garrucha as we had nipped to the tobacconist to get everything done in one go and they let us go without any fuss. We're all moved in yay! 2 weeks to unpack now! Thanks for all the reassurances, it was quite a stressf...

...ul morning. Stay safe and good health! 

Welcome to Valle del Este.  I'm afraid its a bit quiet here, but you'll have plenty of peace to unpack

I’m sure that you’ll be okay.

I’m in a similar position. My current rental ends at the end of March and am going back to the UK by car. I ‘m hoping that they don’t have to extend the lockdown or whether I can drive up to Bilbao to catch the ferry

Hi lm in a similar position as I’m supposed to driving from Bilbao to mojacar as that’s where our new home is really don’t know if we will be allowed to do this?

ferries from Bilbao and Santander are cancelled until the start of April so I would check before you travel.  Also as of tonight  Spain is closing it's borders to anyone except Spanish unless you have good reason to travel.  It's only going to get worse before it gets better.  Stay in the UK if you can,  the streets here are empty and the police are about checking you. No bars or restaurants are open queues for shopping at all supermarkets, that's if they haven't stripped the shelves bare before you get there!  And talk now of extending the 15 days to much longer and harsher penalties if you don't obey.

At the moment ferries from Bilbao to Portsmouth are still operating in March although most of them are fully booked. The border ban applies to incoming not outgoing
