My name's Alex and this is my website all about Albir in Spain. Register now for free to talk about Coronavirus discussion in Albir: Covid-19 news and updates and much more!
After a 3 month delay in lockdown and many cancelled flights later, we decided to drive to our home in Albir. Via the Eurotunnel through France into Spain. We were anxious due to confusing reports about what papers had to be completed so we want to share our experience with you and hope that You find it useful. Our travel date was 4th July
The Eurotunnel terminal building is open but Starbucks is the only place open along with the toilets. Queues for Starbucks are long and food options very limited. You cannot sit in the terminal and have to return to your car.
We had to show our passports and nobody asked for the health declarations that we were advised to complete. All very easy
You have to stay in your car on the tunnel and you cannot use toilets but you do not need to wear a mask.
All services in France are fully open including seating in Macdonalds, Burger King etc. Masks are not compulsory and we saw very few people wearing them.
We stayed at a hotel for one night in Claremont Ferrand which was a 7 hour drive from Calais. A nice little town with plenty of bars and restaurants. They were all open and we had no problem walking in and getting a table for a meal and drinks. Again no masks necessary.
We drove straight passed Spanish border. No need to stop, show passports or give any details as to where we are staying.
Spanish service stations are fully open and more people were wearing masks in the indoor areas.
We can now start our new life in Albir🍾
