Love it... brilliant, thanks for Sharing!

Apparently this is due to change from Friday 15th May,

You are right: May 15th is the date at which the restrictions become tougher/tighter, not the contrary (easier / more lenient).

I cried when I saw Debz's daughter's video and I think my husband wasn't far off tears. We've had our summer holiday in the Pollensa area every year since 2005 but sadly have just had to cancel our villa booking for 13 June. We've already booked the equivalent week in 2021 and will try to get to Pollensa in the autumn this year or next spring as well. We feel desperately sorry for all the businesses in the Port and in Pollensa town who rely on tourists. Vics' video really brought home how everyone's life has been turned upside down by coronavirus. We so look forward to being back in Pollensa and the Port and seeing all the familiar faces in the restaurants and shops. A big thank you to Vics.

I gather time restrictions for exercise etc are no longer applicable in Pollensa? I am just slightly confused re the time slot for over 70's, is that still a restricted time? Any clarification welcome!

 

[Deanscroft]

Time slots no longer apply for municipalities with populations under 10,000 which Pollen a isn't however they may be treating the town and port as separate in which case they both are under. Does anyone know the answer?

As i have said before, things are changing fairly quickly. Only on Saturday it was announced that towns with populations under 10,000 could scrap the time slots, Alcudia was on the list but not Pollensa, so i assumed that the Town, Port and CSV must have been classed as one, which seemed unfair considering the distance between them. Obviously this has now been rectified .

I have just read a post by an Ajuntament de Pollensa councillor in which she said they are waiting for a decision from the BOE, this was posted an hour ago so the MDB might have jumped the gun in their report.

Apparently the list of included town was incorrect, so who knows!!

Yes unfortunately the press and media get it wrong here sometimes as well . It's best to wait for official confirmation on any changes .

According to the DDM https://www.diariodemallorca.es/mal...cipios-mallorca-eliminan-franjas/1509816.html this is the list of municipalities that no longer have time slots :-

Does anyone have a good source for face masks in the port at present?

Have the chemists got any or have they all run out now?

Is there anywhere to get reusable ones, perhaps someone is selling homemade/bespoke ones somewhere?

 

[Deanscroft]

Ferreteria Torrandell on the main road to Pollenca opposite Lidl have face masks.

 

[Sparky]

The chemists say they have plenty to go around .

 

[Tangoman]

or, if you have a good relationship with your dentist, …… That's where I got mine, although as we are now halfway through week 10 of Self Isolation, we haven't worn them yet.
We have written this year off I think, so have booked Hoposa Bahia for 2 weeks next year, and our son Chris, his family, and friends are booked for party of 9 at the same time.

Must say, after transferring to Costa Del Sol for past 3 years, it will be good to be back on our "stomping ground" of the previous 25 years.

Unfortunately we've had our June flights cancelled, which we were expecting to happen, but hoping that it wouldn't, so we have had to move our hotel booking to June 2021. Maybe we'll be able to return to P.P later in the year, fingers crossed.

Some good news, we will move to phase 2 on Monday 25th May .

 

[kazzergardner]

It is good news! I wonder if anyone could clarify re the timetable for walks/exercise in phase 2? As I understand it all times are now free with the exception of 10am to 12pm and 7pm to 8pm....I may be completely wrong though! Many thanks.

Phase 2 has now begun in Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza and Shopping Centres, big stores, beaches and swimming pools have reopened.

The de-escalation of the coronavirus State of Emergency allows residents of the island to take another step towards normality after a new package of measures was approved and published by the BOE on Saturday.

Residents of Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza have more freedom of movement, groups of up to ten people can get together and seniors and people with disabilities in Residential Centres or sheltered housing can receive visitors.

Customers are also able to sit inside at bars and restaurants, although capacity is limited to 50% and 50% on terraces.

Shopping Centres are open with a capacity of 40% but the common areas are still closed and shops inside have also opened their doors but customers must go directly from one shop to another and are not allowed to loiter in open spaces.

Cinemas, Theatres and Auditoriums have reopened with pre-allocated seating and a one-third capacity limitation.

At the beach, personal items, towels, sunbeds etc, must be within the 2-metre perimeter between groups, unless they live in the same house and swimming pools have reopened with 30% capacity.

Guests are now authorised to use the common areas in hotels, but capacity is restricted to 30%.

...
Anyone under the age of 70 can walk or play non-professional outdoor sports at almost any time of the day, except from 10.00-12.00 and 1900-2000 which is reserved exclusively for those over 70 to go out for a walk or play sport.

I think the 10am-12pm/ 7pm -8pm slots are still in operation for the over 70s although i am not sure if that means they can only exercise/walk during those times. But definitely everyone else can be out except during the elderly's slots.

P.S this could have changed over the weekend.
