      Hi Keith and did you watch the video. At a loss to see how it's negative. Essentially we questioned 15-20 Spanish people of which 6-7 were happy to feature in the video and 100 % questioned said they were very much missing Tourists/Visitors , not just from UK but from Belgium, France etc and were hoping they could get back to Spain sooner rather than later. 40 Brits were denied access to Spain on the 29th March FACT and sad/angry at this yes but not negative. Also pointing out that rules governing travel and access to Spain from UK and Vice Versa are ever changing, very confusing and not being followed. The passengers on flight in from Manchester were from what we can gather, were complying with criteria which should have allowed them entry to Spain yet they were not allowed in. Sad to see a country we love not able to be visited/utilised at present by many.

  • @davidcampbell7209
    @davidcampbell7209 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    From the report today by Boris Johnson it looks like travel to Spain is only going to happen very late into the summer. IMHO I think foreign holidays are going to be much more expensive in the future and only the rich will be able to continue with holidays abroad. I have spoken to a friend in roquetas de mar where I have a holiday home and he and his family have stated they are looking forward to our next visit. I think that so much damage has been done to the UK economy that the Gov,t are going to make it so hard for people to travel they may decide to have staycation breaks to keep the holiday savings in the UK. Every business needs a financial boost to restart our country bars cafes and restaurants really need a good summer to save them from permanently closing their doors.

    • @spainexplained8203
      @spainexplained8203 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It does look that way David. Very sadly. Spain will be opening borders to travellers soon not just from UK but France, Belgium, Germany etc and my understanding is when this happens visitors can come in for 90 days on a passport and with proof of a negative PCR test or if exists vaccination certificate. Most UK airports seem to have portable clinics which offer the PCR tests from 70 pounds and when you arrive in Spain there will be no need to isolate. Perhaps this is to soon and will lead to further spikes but to early to say. The real cost will be on return to UK , assuming Spain and rest of Europe confirmed as Red Zone countries, because of the governments requirement for isolation in approved hotel for 10 days and 3 PCR tests. approx 2,200 Pounds not to mention additional cost of not being able to work and a big chunk of your holiday entitlement to sit in a hotel at Gatwick Manchester. Getting some comments saying we are being negative but frankly can't see much to be positive about on the travel front or getting to see loved ones-family front.

Vera and most of the coast resorts and big towns always abuzz, vibrant over Easter but Covid and travel restrictions certainly put pay to this. Such a shame as weather been beautiful. Agree re travel to Spain will start from May but will be to expensive for most and of course tagged to quarantine once back in UK:
