Hi Gary 

Absolutely great prices at the moment I agree.Unfortunatley for myself and my husband self isolating on return is not an option so upsetting not to be able to visit our property,but god willing we will soon,keep safe and enjoy

This post that was quoted has been deleted.

I don't mean to alarm anyone. I heard from a local in Torrevieja that a lockdown is imminent in Orihuela Costa from today. However, I can't be 100% on fact. Maybe travellers can check with tourist board. Also, Olive press Costa Blanca isa  good reference.

The new regulations apply to Orihuela city not Orihuela Costa.

Yes the Covid situation unfortunately is progressing in the wrong direction.

Only purchased my place two weeks ago in Torrevieja and want to go, but the 2 week quarantine on return is too difficult for me.

Sadly I think it’s going to be sometime.

All the best to everyone and hopefully we can all go back to some form of normality soon.

Yes I am in the same position.

Bought my place only a few weeks ago and

Unable to go also.

As far as flights are concerned the situation is not good. Less demand, less flights makes the costs go up.It could get worse yet, easyJet, Ryan air have already reduced the number of flights. They do normally during winter period, but Covid has made it worse.

EasyJet are in a bad financial position as an airline, some of the low cost airlines will go

bust, just leaving the national airlines with very high cost tickets.

I think the answer is not to book any flights until the latest possible time you can.

Anyway, because of the new lockdown coming, we will not be able to go anyway and some of the flights people have already

Booked will probably not fly.

As I understand it Ryan Air are not giving

refunds.
