Surely you can drive to or from airport if you can prove you are boarding a flight or got off a flight??

Well it's a good question! Is a curfew a curfew when it's not a curfew?

No idea how this will play out, there was a question in another thread debating this because the the phrase used by Ximo Puig was that "our borders will close"

If by that he means no inbound travel to Valencia and Alicante airports it renders the question redundant.

However, even under lockdown people have the right to travel to their main place if residence so it will be interesting to see what happens.

Hi Steve, they have used the phrase “our borders are closed” before at the beginning of this pandemic. But at no point have the airports ever closed. Some airlines have chosen to cancel or reduce services. Airports have to remain open because it’s an essential part of the infrastructure and some people need to fly for work which is legitimately allowed, both in Spain and the UK.  Hope that’s a help?

I was supposed to be flying home to Denmark tomorrow for a few days and return on Friday. I have just received a mail from the Danish foreign office stating, as of the 30th October turists arriving at the Valencia community will be denied entry. Does anyone know if this is correct? Can't seem to find any official Spanish websites saying the same. 

Kenneth.

From Sky News "explainer" today......

Well, I must be doing something wrong because I can't get the link to load, and it won't load up a copy and paste extract either, but if you go to Sky News and look for the "Explainer" article it says that travelling to a second home is not allowed under the regulations.

Apparently the Scots are exempt. Some woman is determined to go as planned to her holiday home before Xmas.
