So to keep you all informed, it was Geminis, we arrived just after 8pm and there were plenty of free tables (terrace only) but they steadily filled up.

I had hugs from Xon and Marie but we had our masks on, it was just so good to see each other again we couldn't resist ;).

Three glasses of wine each, good measures and the bill was just €9, we left just before 10.30pm having had a lovely evening.

Nobody was drunk or breaking the rules, just enjoying being out and seeing friends :D.
 
We are out again tonight......well it is Colin's birthday so it has to be done, especially as last year we were on lockdown. Its not really warm enough to dine out yet so just drinks but he is happy with that ;).

Hope you both have a lovely evening celebrating Colin’s birthday.
 
Just to let everyone know ..... our flights out are on 14th August this year, but i have just been informed by my travel agent that TUI have informed them this morning that we can change dates for free, and that this applies to all flights up to 31st August 2021. Not looking hopeful!!

Fingers crossed!!

:rolleyes:
 
We are due out via Ryanair on the 28th August. We have an apartment booked on Bellesguard so no 'package tour' back up included. No reflexion on Ryanair, but we may end up flying by the seat of our pants :eek:

p.s. must sort the insurance out......
 
I'm due out on 26th May with my 90 year old Mum! EJ have changed the flights already, so its all dependent on the politics now! I've given up being hopeful of anything though..... :(
 
I am sure you have all seen that the Spanish authorities have extended the ban on travellers from 3rd countries until the 31st May, irrespective of what the UK government decide on the 17th.

Cancelled my July flights on the back of this decision and now looking at the start of September for "plan D".

Crazy that the same holiday in September is costing me £500 more than July, Surely there must be a chance of this going ahead ay the fourth time of asking.
 
Does anyone have a link to a statement issued by Fernando Valdes stating no travel in May for UK citizens?

it will be posted on uk gvt web site as it has been since the ban started on 22nd dec and has been extended every 2 weeks since
look at travel advice to spain
on UK Government web site
 
Thanks fil6699 nothing new from Boris and the gang. The Spanish tourist minister has said no travel for UK extended until 31/5/21 but can’t find that info other than his quote to the press .
 
bellow is from gov web site this is still in force util 30th may but could change always worth checking daily if you are planing on traveling . you also need a PCR negative fit to fly taken min 72 hours before flight and you have to complete health entry form online to obtain QR code.
Also note when you read bellow that even with the correct papers the final derision is with the border control officer . No more electric barriers you have to present your passport and papers to the officer and have passport stamped and if he or she is having a bad day you could be refused entry ( you can thank Brexit for that one you also have to have your passport stamped when leaving)
I have made the journey twice in the last 2 months for work and even with the correct papers it is not a fun journey especially as almost no direct flights so had to go through Madrid meaning double checks on everything. Lets pray we can get back to some normality soon.

Bellow is taken from the web site
Additional requirements for UK nationals resident in Spain
The Spanish government has formally confirmed to the UK government that UK nationals who were legally residing in Spain before 1 January 2021, and as such are beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement, can use any of the following documents to prove their residence status when entering Spain:

Residence card issued under Article 18.4 of the Withdrawal Agreement (the TIE – Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero)
Temporary or permanent EU residence certificate (Certificado de Registro de Ciudadanos de la Unión)
Receipt of application for the TIE (Resguardo de presentación de la solicitud de la tarjeta de residencia)
Confirmation of the positive outcome of your residence application (Resolución favorable por la que se concede la tarjeta de residencia)
In the absence of any of the above, other documents that credibly evidence your legal residence in Spain before 1 January 2021, such as a padrón certificate (issued by your town hall), a work contract, a rental contract, or proof of property purchase may be presented. However, due to current travel restrictions, be aware that you may be questioned on arrival by Spanish border authorities to ensure you meet the legal entry requirements. Spanish border authorities will only grant entry if they are satisfied that you are returning to Spain to your habitual place of residence or can demonstrate an essential reason to enter (see ‘Permitted reasons to enter Spain’), and reserve the right to deny passage.
The above list of documentation has also been communicated to airlines and other operators.

Thank you for the info. We are booked for 22/5/21 and have been advised by agent that we have to wait until the next update to review.
 
anne10aber, the extension until the 31st May is on the official Spanish government bulletin. You can find it at exteriores.gob.es
