Campsite lockdown in Spain

It was reported yesterday that there are quite a number of local lockdowns, particularly in Northern Spain. Lleida and L'Hospitalet around Barcelona were mentioned. Worrying for those heading into Spain.

This very reason is why we have decided not to leave the UK for the foreseeable future, despite missing our 4 months away each year terribly. Better safe, or not, in the UK than encounter difficulties, or worse, abroad we think. We have visited there a number of times to enjoy the large availability of excellent Pinchos/Tapas when we camped next door at Orio, beautiful seaside town.

Yup, i think it was inevitable, Spain just started their long summer holidays so lots of them on the road to beach resorts etc, could be Spains worst nightmare if one of those ubernisations on the Costas has an outbreak.

I think in the UK we will be very lucky if we dont have an outbreak on a site in one of the coastal hotspots in Devon/Cornwall. Still keeping our options open could be open toss up between being in lock down in Spain or somewhere in the UK

This sort of thing can happen anywhere, not just Spain. It can happen just as much on your own doorstep. On close consideration, we felt that it shouldn't stop us from spending a fortnight in France, which we did a couple of weeks ago. We figured that if we let it influence our movements we'll be marooned at home forever because the problem is going to stay with us for the foreseeable future and we'd never get away. I can think of worse places to be locked down than on a campsite down by the beach.

my sentiments entirely and as we are not due to leave until Sept we can leave our options open, might be glad to get out of the UK by then

Ah, but will the UK be glad to have you back? Science has proven that the UK’s issues stemmed primarily from returnees from Italy and Spain initially, rather than from China. It’s a global game is Covid ping pong😉

Scotland won't, yet, people returning from Spain still have to quarantine.

Oh no! I've just booked a walking holiday in the Italian Lakes for September! If we're not going to be welcomed back I guess we'll just have to put up with the hardship of extras days by Lake Maggiore (what a hardship that would be! )

For once you and i are singing from the same hymn sheet
