Easing of Restrictions - Valencia Region

Surely, Glassful was just expressing his opinion!

The DOGV regarding the opening times until 2200 makes it clear that customers must be at home by 2200. Bars, restaurants etc will have to have closed and shuttered their premises by 2200, not serve until that hour. The hotel industry is now saying they will probably stop serving at 2130 and start closing their premises.

Shops and shopping centres will close between 2100 and 2130 for the same reason.
Those that work in such establishments will be given a "safe conduct" pass to allow them to travel to and from their place of work during curfew hours.

There is also a DOGV on meetings and mobility.
In both private and public places, both indoors and out, a maximum of 6 people may meet together unless they are members of the same family.

In private homes, both indoors and outdoors, gatherings will be limited to families only and a maximum of two families may meet. This will not apply to child or elderly care givers, foster children, people who are married or in a relationship who do not share the same address, someone living alone may receive visitors from one other family, workmen and those providing educational matters.

Religious meetings including celebrations and marriages may be attended providing 50% of the capacity of the building is not exceeded and the social distance of 1.5m is adhered to.

The perimeters of the Valencian Community remain closed except for:
a) Assistance to health centers, services and establishments.
b) Compliance with labor, professional, business, institutional or legal obligations.
c) Attendance at university, teaching and educational centers, including nursery schools.
d) Return to the place of habitual or family residence.

Thank you Marcliff

Good to have you back Marcliff

Hotels and restaurants can now go back to buffet service. You must use the provided tongs etc to pick the food up and serving utensils must be replaced every 30 minutes.
New rules on the easing of restrictions will be announced next Tuesday and the hotel industry is asking for the curfew to be put back an hour to 2300.

The nationwide state of alarm is due to end the weekend after next (9th May) but the autonomous regions can impose restrictions of their own after that.

With the state of alarm ending, it that stays the same and ends, does that mean people from the UK will be able to come to Spain, we ahve flights booked for 25th May and desperate to come over x

That is not to do with the state of alarm. That is a national law putting restrictions into place throughout Spain.
The restrictions on UK (and other countries) citizens travelling to Spain except for essential reasons or if they are citizens/residents ends tomorrow. Pretty sure there will be another announcement by the Madrid government about it.

They will more than likely ease the restrictions on UK visitors but will maintain the restrictions from Brazil and S Africa plus the new ones they added yesterday from India.

Your travel to Spain will be more dependent on what the UK government allows you to do.

Thanks. Marcliff, it's looking like travel will be allowed from UK to Spain, with restrictions when back In the UK, which we can do, just need it also confirmed that Spain will allow us in, guess we will have to wait and see what comes out, as all over paper saying Spain wil allow brits form June?

Our flights for 18th May have just been cancelled until at least the 29th do they know something we don’t?
