Luke,
17 days ago all shops except food shops were closed plus bars/ restaurants etc / 99% of flights were grounded / only key workers were allowed to work.
You are not allowed out for a walk it was 200euro fine, new law now 600euro, 2nd offence 2,000 euros, if you don’t pay they take car , take you to cash point or your house.
You have to either paper work on you or prescriptions or bags for food and they follow many.
It was zero tolerance .
Now it’s even worse as a lot of called key workers have been stopped from working unless it’s more than essential, that was the new law from Monday just gone.
I have been out 4 times for food in 17 days and was told to keep walking and don’t stop till your home by the Guardia Civil.
You actually don’t want to go out one because it’s right not to, but you feel you will be done by the police big time.
Our streets are deserted and I am glad.
I live up in the hills and can see the whole of Santa Ponsa it’s worse than a ghost town.
We are beating the virus in Mallorca
It’s mainland Spain where other countries like Italia have been able to go through that are in serious trouble and out of control.
I sadly see it happening in the UK as Boris to soft and police to soft.
We will all come out if this virus but sadly to many will have died
