Campsite lockdown in Spain

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😉

i have read various accounts of peoples experiences of being abroad when Covid restrictions started but have only spoken to one person, a friend we meet with on a rally each year, and his experience was that you, the individual, have absolutely no say in what you have to do.

Initially he was ordered to stay on site, then given a couple of days notice to leave.so not sure that your expectations that you will be sunning yourself while we are in dark, cold UK would be correct.

I may have been a bit flippant about being "locked in" Allan and its obviously not something to welcome . However my friends who found themselves in Spain at the the beginning of the outbreak and decided to sit it out instead of dashing home have actually had a reasonable experience . They were allowed to stay  on a serviced pitch, classified as residents, in walking distance of a Mercadona and spent a couple of months in the sun with just a few other residents. Had they made it home they would have been homeless as their place was let so it worked out well, they are in France at the moment and slowly making their way back..

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.
