Highly unlikely you will be able to visit, and if no increase in cases of the virus and a continued drop in the death rate yes bars will be open to some extent.

I have read it that spain will not allow flights before that date. So I assumed they would after June 17th or has that now changed

So on the 18th all will be good? I think you should check if your airline is still in existence then. With half the number of passengers allowed can you get on a flight. What will the real prices be seeing as they make €5 per passenger on a full plane . Life has changed!

We’d be in the same boat as you Anne but will wait & see if Covid figures stay down & all being good take an autumn ferry out from Rosslare rather than take a flight for a while yet. I see the Canaries want to try a few test routes from June as they’ve escaped lightly there. Hard to see how airlines will make planes safe. On the info we’ve been given so far on how the Virus spreads they’d have to be so few passengers on them to allow for distancing it wouldn’t pay their fuel bill.

No one really knows. The shutdown happened rapidly and opening of borders may also happen more quickly than envisaged.
Cyprus and Greece will start open borders from 8 June for example and UK and France have had talks over Ferries.
That said, this thing is going to be with us for many a long year and we'll need to learn to live with it as it dies down and then spikes up again at various points.
Borders will open in time, I think late September may be possible but you just never know.
Stay safe, stay positive.
Sorry but airlines are still taking bookings to get money in their accounts then cancelling the flights a week before the flight date and giving you a voucher for future credit rather than a refund otherwise many of them would be bankrupt. Also at present only Spanish citizens and Spanish residents are allowed into the country, those who have a holiday home will not be allowed and no date has been set for that being changed.
