Coronavirus in Spain

Since Coronavirus broke out in Spain on 31st January, media attention and panic has been widespread. I have created a list of good sources of information and recommendations. 

Living in Andalusia, this area has some regions that are not at all affected and others such as Costa del Sol with many cases. 

Here's is the updated article>

Booking travel this month

As there are many offers on flights and hotel stays at the moment. It is actually a good time to book ahead for summer holidays. Make sure you book your trip and then arrange travel insurance straight away. This will cover if the situation alters in the following weeks.

Wash your hands
The advice that most authorities are giving is to use soap and warm water to wash your hands. Wash them throughly and for over 20 seconds. Although some choose to wear masks its not so clear how useful this measure is.

Should I cancel my trip

Keep up to date with travel restrictions on official channels such as CDC or Governmental websites. It is not clear how Easter processions in Spain will be affected at the moment. 

I will be updating my article as further developments come to light.

Best wishes from Southern Spain
