Great 10 days in La Zenia

Yes now self isolating. Not too bad as I am retired and can do some work from home.  However feel great and no signs of infection.

I'm glad you had a good experience going to, and while in Spain, worrying (and quite telling) about non collection of forms on arrival back in the UK. 

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I think as the information is filled in online that you may still be contacted.

On arriving back to Manchester they asked us to have our form ready as we walked through a corridor to passport control but once that person saw we had the correct form we didn’t have to hand it in or show it to anyone in any detail.

I was actually called the next day to confirm we knew what we had to do re the quarantine and advised not to contact 111 or 999 (if emergency) and not even go to our doctor or chemist etc.

All in all for us the system seemed to be in place.

Ok thank you. So far not had call but we being sensible 

A lovely read thank you very encouraging great,   Keeping fingers crossed they soon find a cure for this dreadful virus so sorry its affected most of the world 😥😥😫     thanks again keep safe and enjoy La Zenia we like it also "mucho" ha ha many happy times there with friends who came over for holidays more to come happier times 

Hi we should be coming over end of August but found out our insurance will not cover us as fco don't advise people to go. How did you manage? Were you insured? Thanks. Pam

We got insurance through Rock Insurance and also I think Staysure which covers you and includes Covid 19.  If you already have insurance you could take out insurance for just this trip. Might be worth doing search of internet to find travel insurers who cover you for Spain plus Covid 19.  

Yes I agree everyone should definitely check. I was covered.

The FCO advice is not to travel, it is advice not mandatory. I believe we have to start getting back to normal and getting on with our lives. Going to Spain or France should be no more dangerous than going shopping in Newark or Leicester, if people act properly and take all the usual precautions regarding hand-washing, sanitiser, masks. I would avoid high contagion areas in any country unless there are compelling reasons. The infection rates in the Costas are equal or less than most low risk UK locations. Anyone travelling MUST obey the local government rules in all countries, before and after travel. 

   That is my view, I don't believe I am ignorant or selfish but others may differ. The key is to act sensibly wherever you are. Apologies in advance my this view upsets anyone.

Rgds,

Aitch.
