What’s it Like Around Spain in a Coronavirus Time..?
Malaga without tourists
Right now in any Southern European country is hot hot hot hot. It is August after all!
However, we went on our first after lockdown trip as soon as we could. We felt our feet itch just a little bit. We missed the flamenco induced drinks and the southern taste in the tapas.
Spain is deserted.
I assume like any other country that used to have many tourists all year around. The UK tourists can no longer travel to Spain for their planned holiday because of coronavirus quarantine. This has been imposed in the UK since 26th July 2020.
Who knows how long it’s going to last? Maybe straight after the holiday season ends? It’s not funny but, hey, if you cannot laugh what’s left?
Malaga right now is amazing. No tourists. Ok a few. Mainly Northern European tourists and some Russians. It’s nothing like when you have massive tourists scrolling the streets and I cannot get through.
Barcelona, right now is empty. The famous street of Las Ramblas is deserted. Everyone who’s depended on the tourism in Spain is suffering. We’ve got re-think the way we live. However, that’s for another blog post.
