Well said Ianmc,
Like you,I am being constantly reminded how safe Spain is but one wonders. Here in the U.K., if we are dining or having a coffee, we must complete a contact list. This does NOT happen in Spain. Masks being worn on the streets and on the country lanes in Spain is mandatory but in my opinion, sometimes unnecessary. We have to wear them in shops and other places. My sister and her husband have just returned from a superb golfing holiday in Scotland. Everyone in their various hotels had to wear a mask as did the staff and they felt extremely safe.
People in Spain are being led to believe that we are all running around ignoring the Covid rules and it simply isn’t true. Yes, we have had incidents of young people misbehaving but what’s new about that? Your safety is in your own clean hands! Watch where you are going, avoid crowds, wash your hands often and thoroughly, wear you mask where instructed to or everywhere if you prefer and we should manage to stay healthy and well. I like to wear surgical gloves when out and about....removed and hands sanitized as soon as I get into the car and then carefully disposed of.
If you plan to visit your holiday home, more than likely, you will go to the beach...Safe enough out in the fresh air and in your own beach section. Going out for a meal...again, choose a place you know and believe is clean and use your sanitizer after reading the menu, buy your groceries in bulk and try not to have to go very often. Wash all your fruit ,veg, tomatoes etc., be extra vigilant and you will have a wonderful holiday.
It’s like being at home, be careful and you will be fine.
Enjoy.
