"I have a friend who lives on the island and its deserted. I seen pictures of the Irish center and faro 2 and they are empty. The Irish center is even clean. Its sad" Looking at the forums, there are plenty of people who have booked to go. There is still a ban on non essential travel, from UK , so hopefully it will pick up when we are allowed to travel again.  | |||

"Quarantine or no quarantine when back home we are still coming. We are heading to gran canaria on 17th May for 2 weeks. If anyone can recommend anywhere for gran canarian Virgins please let us know Staying at turbo club. Wanting naked bathing and some fun. TIA cx" Be prepared to give passport control a good reason for travelling and provide them with proof when you get to the airport. Our son in law works at Birmingham airport and they have a whole list of pre scripted questions and proof requirements for those travelling to amber destinations . He is expecting more passengers to be going back home than those allowed to fly! | |||

He is expecting more passengers to be going back home than those allowed to fly!"Pretty sure Tui wouldn't be travelling and taking holiday makers to destinations if weren't allowed. The uk has only said they don't advise travelling to Amber they haven't said you can't or have to have a valid reason. As far as we have seen spain mainland have said they dont want travel for holiday from uk but canary Island are allowing it at the moment. So no reason for us not to go as we are happy to quarantine on our return so won't be needing any excuses or reasons as all legitimate. If the governments of either say different then we won't go or if TUI don't fly because of such reasons. Thanks for the advice but being law graduates ourselves I'm sure we will be fine. Sure your son needs to double check what the government has actually said about travel and that is advised so no legislation or law not to. Same goes for red list they aren't saying you can't go the difference is you have to stay in a government approved hotel for quarantine. Thanks x | |||

"So why does the gov.uk website say that you should not travel to red or amber list countries for leisure purposes? Rules for green list countries change from 17 May, but the rules for red and amber list countries don’t. | |||

When we got off the plane at Heathrow in December our pilot told us we needed to isolate for 14 days. The correct period was 10 days. You'd think someone adiving travellers would know the facts... And now from BA: "Six days before the government’s 19-week ban on international travel is lifted, British Airways is warning passengers booked on flights from 17 May that it will still be illegal to go on holiday. The airline has sent out a message to passengers booked on Heathrow-Faro flights next Monday saying: “You can only travel internationally from England for?legally permitted reasons" The UK government has confirmed it will lift the prohibition on international leisure travel in time for the resumption of holidays abroad on 17 May. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-ba-travel-ban-b1845376.html I would imagine that the FCDO's deliberate exclusion of the Canary Islands would suggest the general advice is not applicable in this specific instance. Of course no harm in checking these things before you fly. And of course we are hoping that soon the Canaries will be evaluated separately from mainlain Spain in which cases they will be Green by the time people fly back. | |||

"There's a piece in Canarian weekly,that the Government do not rule out opening nightlife until 2am in the summer, so nothing definite" Yep, I can find things saying it's being discussed/ considered, but nothing stating that it's happening next week.

"yesterday yumbo was full.. seems pubs will close at 2 am next week" This is not true! It's not really shore when the bars are allowed open till 2 am..... The president of the Canary Islands said that it's a possibility that he will allow bars, nightclubs & discos can stay open till 2 am maby in the summer July/August..... All depends on the figures | |||

"Nothing has been agreed about 2am opening. But it’s more likely to happen than not. They let bars open till 12am on Friday night (got to say, it’s been a big help. For us anyway) the islands have to change things and quickly. They don’t want people having party’s on the beach. So they See opening the bars later and the correct move. The infections have been in free fall this past 2 weeks now. Hopefully we can see the 2300 live cases by the end of this week. Monday and Tuesday you always see a big drop off due to hospital discharge‘s. Friday seen, Germany, Holland and Denmark put the islands on the green list. So that’s really going to help out tourism. There is a few hotels due to open this week as well. So far, so good. Let’s wait on what the Uk government says in 2 weeks time. First Uk flights are due on Thursday "we can't wait to visit you | |||

"I think that finished some time ago. Not finished, the insurance is still in force. The policy, with AXA taken out by the Canary Islands currently runs until August 10th.

Just remember guys though that this cover is for Covid only and you will need to purchase ‘against FCO advice’ insurance for the rest of your insurance. We have been travelling for work right the way through the pandemic, our annual travel insurance is fine. The details of the Canaries Covid policy can be found here. https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/news/spains-canary-islands-to-provide-travel-insurance-for-tourists-in-case-of-covid-19/" There is an article on the BBC website today about holiday insurance when travelling to amber list countries. It states that ‘generally holiday insurance won’t cover you when travelling to amber list countries, where it is against FCO advice’ which it currently is. I spoke to TUI today and they confirmed this, TUI will provide insurance which does cover you but it is about twice the cost of normal insurance. | |||

So people can get cover at a cost..We all know it will cost more, what with tests etc. Lots of people have saved by not holidaying last year, so hopefully they'll still have that money to spend on their holiday this year. | |||

"Tui flights for the 31st May cancelled today. Damn it! Trying to find other flights but nothing direct is coming up, even from all London airports. Anyone else having problems?" I think that is because Boris has now clarified the situation regarding Amber list countries ( see the article on the BBC website published in the last hour). He has reiterated that "The position remains that people should not travel to amber list countries and that is to protect public health” | |||

"Government advice says travel to amber list countries should only happen for work or for a small number of urgent reasons. However, it is not illegal to take holidays to them and people cannot be punished for doing so. Asked why it was legal, Johnson’s spokesperson said only: “Amber countries are effectively the default that countries are put in, beyond the small number of green list countries we have, where we have identified it is safe to travel to, and the red list, where we are banning travel because of concerns such as variants.”" Fly out Saturday morning for 10 weeks
Should be green by my return so in good spec.

"TUI The statement added: "However, there are a small number of countries on the amber list, like the Canaries and a small number of Greek Islands, such as Rhodes where the foreign office are allowing travel. We are offering holidays to these locations. Of course, customers who would like to move can do up to 14 days before travel." Hays Travel In a statement, the travel agent chain said: "Hays Travel always follows government advice and we will only book holidays for our customers to destinations that are allowed according to the FCDO published guidance. "There are some amber destinations that are allowed and in these cases we are ensuring our customers are fully informed with the best and most up to date advice so that they are aware of any requirements or restrictions from FCDO and the destination country."" Thank you ... basically canaries are allowed .. although travel isnt illegal now. Im having my pcr now for travel Saturday morning | |||

"Beach shopping list. 1 Groundsheet. You get sheets with attractive patterns on them that you simply lie flat on the sand and then pin down with a few stones. Stones become a sought after commodity. 2. Umbrella. A big one sounds good till the wind picks up and then it becomes a paraglider. 3. Plastic screw in holder which twists into the sand to keep your paraglider grounded so that it does not become a tumbling, impaling weapon. 4. Rucksack that has a carry handle. More about that later. 5. Flip flops. The sand here gets really hot. And while there's nothing sexier than a bottom of someone speed walking over hot sand, it's more fun to watch than experience. 6. Food and drink. Some of the locals arrive later in the afternoon and sell out of cooler boxes but only arrive once there's enough people on the beach. The trick with drinks is... take too few you'll end up thirsty, take too many and you end up carrying heavy drinks back. Have at least one water to wash any sand off can tops lest you have a high fiber drink. 7. Deck chair. You can buy lightweight deck chairs that fold horizontal too. My problem is my legs are too short and the chairs drag in the sand. Two options. You get two wheeled old granny shopping carriers which are challenging to use in sand. Or. If you bought a rucksack with a carry handle you tie the deck chairs to the carry handle and forget they are there. For this I use a velcro strap. 8. Plastic pegs. If you have a deck chair it's more comfortable with a towel. It can get a bit windy and these oversized pegs hold your towel nicely. They also hang things nicely from the umbrella. 9. Sunscreen. For obvious reasons. 10. Wind break. A strip of sheet that stands vertical supported by some poles which you hammer into the ground upwind of where you are situated. You get a groundsheet/windbreak that serves 3 purposes, the third being a bit of privacy. 11. Igloo tent. Providing shade and wind shelter. Point it in the right direction. (See paraglider) 12. Sunglasses. You can buy cheap sunglasses here. Taking your raybans/oakleys/vuarnets to the beach can be an expensive mistake. Some peope wear their sunglasses going into the water and discover nature has an uncanny habit of removing them without your permission. Many of the items can be found at the lighthouse stalls. The same thing just cheaper can be found in Chinese shops which exist in large numbers here. What do you do with all these things when you head back home? On your last day find someone newly arrived and pass them on
And whilst it isn't the same as the previous setup, friends tend to group together more easily and it's a lot more social than before..."Arriving in two days I m so afraid that as Germany, France had imposed quarantine from UK travellers due to the Indian variant, Spain will do the same!

"Go on YouTube as there are walkers out with their cameras every day filming their walk abouts so you can see the weather and how busy it is live Xxx" I tend to go on there, they give a more realistic view than the static cams | |||

"???? Possible new regulations for all of SPAIN. - Several autonomous communities want to request the use of masks only indoors from July. In this way you could be without face masks anywhere outdoors Ah wow... what source what that said in - The SPANISH GOVERNMENT and the Ministry of Health are going to propose to the autonomous communities to reopen pubs and discos with a schedule until 2 in the morning or until 3 if the region is at a low level. The clubs would have a capacity of 50% indoors and 100% capacity on terraces. (this meeting is currently happening and could have a confirmation any time soon) ???? Posibles nuevas regulaciones para toda ESPAÑA. - Varias comunidades autonomas quieren solicitar el uso de mascarillas sólo en interiores a partir de Julio. De esta manera se podría estar sin mascarillas en cualquier sitio al aire libre - El GOBIERNO DE ESPAÑA y el ministerio de sanidad van a proponer a las comunidades autonomas reabrir los pubs y discotecas con un horario hasta las 2 de la mañana o hasta las 3 si la región está en nivel bajo. Las discotecas tendrían un aforo del 50% en interior y 100% de capacidad en terrazas. ( Estan ahora mismo reunidos y podríamos tener noticias en cualquier momento)" | |||

"It shows you how many people are out and about there and how busy it is, or not as the case may be!" Just wondering how you have reached the conclusion that it's not busy. | |||

You do not need to test if, Have an official accredited document that shows that you have been fully vaccinated in the eight months prior to your trip or have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorised by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) within the past four months and at least 15 days prior to your trip. The official accredited document of vaccination must state the vaccine received, the number of doses and the date on which each dose was inoculated. Can prove with an official medical certificate or public document that you have had and recovered from the disease within the past 6 months | |||

"Yes but everyone needs to be aware that even though government guidelines are there some accommodation still want it for ssfety. My accommodation wanted a pcr regardless of the travel laws. Best to contact hotels individually to get an update on their own policies | |||

"If you do fall within all the criteria reference the vaccines, you can download the NHS app (not the travel and trace one) register and tgats where you can access/download official proof. It has dates, times, batch if vaccines you've had. It also has a download and print option, with a QR code so it can be scanned... It's the official/unofficial covid passport if you get the drift... Look it up, it works. | |||
