A few days ago, the British Government made the decision to force British tourists to be quarantined upon returning home from Spain. This seemed to me very hard news, for British tourists and for tourism entrepreneurs in Spain. Now I will explain my point of view.
It is true that now in Spain there are many sprouts of Covid-19; but, when I see the News, on television, they always say that the outbreaks have occurred in "Nightlife" (in private parties, botellon, etc.). Note: "Botellón" is a massive gathering of young people to drink cheaper than in a disco. This is a big problem, because young people usually don't want to wear a mask when they go out to have fun at night; nor do they want to keep their distance from other young people. I think that the authorities should ban this type of party.
For example, the celebration of a soccer victory is a problem, as happened in July 2018, when England beat Sweden, to advance to the Champion Semifinals.

Too much young people gathered in a botellon
Some young people laughing and without any mask in a botellon
Young people seems not to be afraid at night:
Look at so many people in a botellon
Any other young people in a botellon
So many people in a disco
However, I have never heard of a new outbreak appearing in a supermarket, or in a pharmacy, or on a street; no, because, in those places, almost everyone has a mask and keeps the social distance, which the Spanish government asked us to do. So I think that if we listen to what the experts recommend, we should have no problem.
At the supermarket
In the pharmacy
Some girls on a street
More young people on a street
Another group of young people
People of different ages on a street of Mallorca
More people wearing a mask and keeping their distance
Tourists with mask on arrival in Spain
A hotel cleaner cleaning a room
Two tourists driving along the promenade in Benidorm
An old couple with a mask on a beach of Benidorm
Young people with a mask too
Therefore, I hope that the British Government will think about the decision and trust to Spain. And if you decide to come to Spain --or if you live here-- please be healthy and be happy.
Until my next post, kind regards,
Luis.
