"That's great news for all! what are the 'secure conditions '?"Not sure, might just be masks in public ( shops etc ) and social distance in restaurants. Hopefully nothing too severe or restrictive. If the nunbers keep improving as they are now, might be barely noticeable. Just happy to be able to go over. | |||

"That's great news for all! what are the 'secure conditions '?"Heard you have to wear a mask if your over 6 years old in any place you can’t social distance for starters, even outside, so not much fun on the beach in 100deg and really hefty fines if you are caught without and they will fine you on the spot  | |||

Where we stay in Vera Playa, there are many quiet beaches around, so we should be able to find one where we can social distance. | |||

I'm sure there will be a lot of people with travel vouchers coming in and filling seats.
I hope it all goes well! | |||

"I would go , but not if I have to do the 14 day self isolation when I return to the uk , I cannot get 3 weeks off work together " Doubt you will get insurance cover either. The way the UK is going by flooding the beach, there is a very good chance of another spike and don't be surprised if Spain tells the UK to piss off | |||

"It's still not very clear how this is going to be introduced and what restrictions are going to be in place in the hotels as well as on the beach etc. We're considering cancelling our holiday, we know we'll loose the deposit but it's a small price for peace of mind. " Not sure what restrictions, but it has been said that there will not be loads as they want tourists back a d enjoying their holiday. *Not like a hospital* Their words not mine | |||

I'm confident that the GC authorities will put a plan in place that places a balance between keeping the virus under control and tourists still having a good holiday. In the meantime it's pretty rich for us to be sitting in the fire and casting aspersions as to how warm it will be in the frying pan  | |||

"Lots of posts explaining the loss of deposit if holiday is cancelled by themselves and not the holiday company or airline.

"Is anyone still booked to visit in July and what do you think about going? " our flights for end of july have been cancelled but we've booked to travel two days earlier , our return flights haven't been cancelled so we're hoping we can travel , we have a place in Spain so we can limit minimise mixing with others . We would quite happily still go and stay on our terrace and enjoy the change of scenery | |||

"Is anyone still booked to visit in July and what do you think about going? " We have 2nd July booked but we will change them to later in the year if they don’t get cancelled. We have our own place there and desperate to go but just don’t fancy the flight yet, not just because of covid but those planes haven’t moved in months which is a bit of a worry. | |||

"The Government is working on safe corridor projects so that in the second half of June some autonomous communities, currently Balearic and Canary Islands, can receive foreign tourists, possibly German and Nordic, as a previous step to open, from July 1, the borders to international tourism. "The islands have offered to make these corridors and I will also speak with other autonomous communities that are interested in defining which corridors and with what guarantees," explained the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, Reyes Maroto, in an interview with Efe . The idea will be to do it the second half of June because "we also need the territories to be better epidemiologically," he added. The objective, he has detailed, is to be able to test the protocols drawn up in tourism in the framework of the de-escalation plan after the confinement by the coronavirus, which has kept the sector in Spain frozen, where it accounts for 13% of GDP and 12% of job. At the moment only the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands have expressed their interest, but the minister has advanced that she will address the issue at the sectoral conference that will be held next week with the autonomous communities, since they are the ones that have to present a "viable" project, to not risk neither the tourist's nor the resident's health. WHERE WILL THE FIRST TOURISTS COME FROM? As for the countries where these first tourists will come from, Maroto has detailed that the Government is talking to "quite a few markets", among which he has highlighted Germany (the second largest tourist source market to Spain) and the Nordic countries, which "right now they are in a very good (epidemiological) situation." "It is very important that the first tourists are tourists who are in the same epidemiological situation as us," he explained, and that "they are also in a position to be able to fly safely." Regarding the United Kingdom (the first issuer), Maroto pointed out that, although there have been talks with tour operators such as TUI and Jet2holidays, there "the data still has to improve", since "for us it is important to ensure that the person comes in handy and then come back well. " In fact, the British authorities themselves still do not recommend traveling abroad, so British tour operators do not want to operate at the moment, according to the minister." The main thing is that you guys get bums on seats so you're still around when the UK is welcomed back into the fold. | |||

This from the guy that said things would return to normal by the end of April, then May, now June.. sounds like those with boots on the ground know nothing for certain "From the start of this pandemic nobody has known anything for certain about the future. However, there is a discernable difference between estimating future situations and reporting the status quo. Clearly a person who is following the situation on the daily TV news has a better idea than someone picking up third hand information from the Internet, because then people would at least know the gender of the person they are quoting. | |||

"July is a month away, remember the UK is two weeks behind Italy and much the same for Spain. A month ago the UK was seeing 5-6000 infections a day and upwards of 800 deaths a day. I'm a month time we should be seeing very few new cases / deaths as is clear from the charts even now France and Spain are playing politics but they won't ban Brits in July and they won't quarantine them either, they were already suffering losses last year after the collapse of Thomas cook they need to get as many as possible in this year. The Spanish media is as full of shite as the British. Listen to the people that matter, the people that have business there. " Perfectly summed up. | |||

Up here we were in the early 40s yesterday !! " Really? Do you think your government will allow Brits over in just a month? The past 24hrs Spain have had 1 reported Covid-19 death whereas the UK have had 359.We've never really been on lockdown here and this government have allowed children to go back to school with that many daily deaths. I'd be surprised if Brits were allowed to travel anywhere until our deaths have remained below 10 for over a month but that's our Govt. for you! | |||

I wouldn't go on holiday with so many restrictions. I'd rather wait until there is some kind of normality. It will be interesting to see our infection numbers in the next few weeks, what with the mass gatherings in some cities. At least the weather has changed, so hopefully there won't be so many people on the beaches | |||

It will be interesting to see our infection numbers in the next few weeks, what with the mass gatherings in some cities. At least the weather has changed, so hopefully there won't be so many people on the beaches "No, instead of going to the safest places on the planet ...

"Had my hope up high for 3rd July fingers crossed but I can't see it myself at all not now il be surprised if any country let us in this summer now still at 359 a day no chance
I think you may be right, we have no control here now, why would any country want us visiting them...
Unless other Governments are like ours and put money over health; that's the only reason they'd let us in!
I'm due to go to Gran Canaria in July but from what I've read we won't be able to enjoy many of their facilities anyway as they have to remain closed! It'll be interesting to see what the death rates are like by the end of June and how Spain will respond. I believe the FCO have the overall say, so we'll see. "We have all being having a chat this past week (yes only locals so not fact or do I have links) But we don’t think there will be much closed. Yes a few of the hotels have said they are not opening still September/October. But you will see a lot of bars and restaurants open. We can see on a Friday and Saturday night. PDI is 1/3 Full. That’s not bad when you think it’s only people from GC. As of Monday we all can move around all the islands. So that should see a few more people in and a round the town. Then as of the 22nd all of Spain can move freely. The Hotels that are opening in July have all said bookings are looking strong. Some have even said they have seen more bookings than a normal July. (That’s nothing to with other hotels being closed, this is their bookings from loyal customers who want to get back to islands) Yeah, it’s early days but the signs are there for tourism to be slow but strong, and still lots of time for the British tourists to get out here. Spain have made it clear they are not shutting the door for the Uk market come July 1st. But it’s going to come down to the Uk government. | |||

"We're in Fuerteventura. No Covid-19 cases for at least a month, no deaths, 45 sufferers all recovered. Can get a hair cut, dental treatment and a drink in a bar. UK Government may well have a point!" They may well but with the lack of lockdown there is a high chance people from Britain could carry the virus back over. | |||

" I have no concern with travelling, I just don't want the holiday ruined by facilities being closed which are the reason I booked the hotel. But find it amusing that the UK government will happily claim it's safe for us to travel to another country but it's unsafe for us to have a hair cut or drink in a pub." | |||

Blooming heck I posted that about 5 weeks ago lol. Have you been on Vera beach in August.  Just looked at the news over in Spain and although they have relaxed things a little one of the beaches near to us as marked out boxes on the sand to sit in so you are sure to distance but it says no food or drink to be consumed. | |||
