I have learned that our local Saturday market is to partially re-open this coming Saturday, May 16th, but there will only be 10 stalls operating, selling food only. We also publish the list of other markets in the area which operate on different days of the week and this information would be useful to keep, to use  when we are out of lock down and we can travel more freely again.

As from this Monday, May 11th, restaurants and bars will be permitted to re-open but to serve only in outside terraces and provided they can safely operate observing the 2 metre distance rule.

I am pleased to report that our local area is one which has experienced far fewer cases and deaths from coronavirus than other parts of Spain – but only by observing the rules and keeping a safe distance from eachother can this be maintained.  It’s important for us to always remember that the virus is still present in Spain.
