Estimates vary, but the UK is expecting a peak in around 8-10 weeks.

That's a peak, not the end...

I would agree with not years. However this will take a few months. Exactly how many is anybody's guess.

I think you can safely say that visiting Spain in April/May just won't happen, June 50/50 (at best) The rest of the summer? Who knows but I think there are serious doubts.

We are supposed to be leaving Spain tomorrow (unless we get cancelled again) and I don't expect to see our house here again for at least 3 months, but even that could be optimistic.

Yes but I hope it isn't "out of the frying pan, into the fire"

Spain is the 2nd worst in Europe but Germany is 3rd. And our area is the worst area in Germany.

Some of the images Mrs H's son is sending us are quite scary.

Oh dear

Over here they are advising over 70's and vulnerable to stay at home for 12 weeks, from the weekend. That's my husband with his medical conditions, but at least we are in our own home.

Melodramatic!!!!!

No offence, but I think (only my opinion) that your prediction for it to be a good few weeks rather than months is, at the best, extremely optimistic.

April and May will also involve restrictions. There's just no way someone is going to say...that's it, it's all over' just go back to your normal routine. If you remember only less than 2 weeks ago, DT(USA) intimated it would be over by Easter.

Irrespective, I really do hope your right, but I'm the 'half empty glass' person and I think this will be ongoing.

Me and my mate were going benidorm on 29th may but moved it to September now. Still not hopeful we will make it.

1st holiday without kids in 11 years. Last holiday was 2014 with the kids. Waited so long for a holiday and it gets pissed all over with this virus.

Had another UK holiday put back also with all the family but what can you do but stay home and stay safe.

Costa Blanca Spain...

I'm really beginning to doubt that June will happen for the Costa Blanca.

Even if the restrictions are lifted (I think at best more likely will be just relaxed) by then, the logistics of getting everything up and running will take quite some time.

Ryanair for example have grounded their entire fleet until at least the end of May. Even if they do start again on June 1st they cannot just put the whole lot up in the air on day one. After standing idle for 2 months the aircraft will need safety checks and many will be in the wrong place. As someone on another thread posted, there is possibly an issue with pilots minimum flying hours as well.

Easyjet, Jet 2, Etc will all have the same problem.

Even if, and it's a very big IF, things start running again in June it will be well into July or even August before any semblance of normality returns.

We live in central Benidorm & can advise first hand. Nothing regarding tourism will happen here for a minimum of 3 Months. All hotels in Benidorm are closed, with the exception of Hotel Flamingo Oasis. The Flamingo is being used as an overspill for the Levante hospital, Clinica Benidorm, Foites & Hospital Villajoyosa.

Stay safe xx

That is pretty much what we were expecting.

When we left our place last month we resigned ourselves to not seeing it again until at least July.

I'm now thinking even that was optimistic.

BENIDORM

We think positive thoughts are required, not assumptions. Guess work can be found on FB all day long. Holiday makers planning to visit Benidorm that includes a stay at any HOSBEC group of hotels can find positive info on their website.

Seems to us people are awaiting a yes/no to their travel arrangements. Why not put things into perspective first, : Would you jump on a plane knowing your going to breathe shared circulated cabin air at 30,000 ft. Would you risk bringing your family to Benidorm immediately after the lockdown has ceased, bearing in mind Spain has been high on the mortality list !!

Stay safe xx

Really appreciate your input on the thread. Just had an e mail from our hotel in Benidorm to say they are reopening on June 6th. When are we scheduled to arrive? June 6th! ( Poseidon group )

You’re spot on with your flight comment.

It could be that our hotel reservation is ok but our flights get cancelled. Booked separately through travel republic and EasyJet.

Probably end up not paying our hotel balance and hope that flights get cancelled

Stay safe and all the best to everyone

"June for us also , we have also resigned ourselves that it wont happen

Purely by luck I managed to get a 10 day holiday in Malta back in January. (first one in years!) It was a very spur of the moment thing and the first time anything has worked out for me. And pure luck. I was hoping to get to Cape this year with a friend. But guess that's probably out of the question now?

No... The Spanish government announced but have left it to the region areas to fine tune their own desision that allthough resorts are set to reopen in some way mid summer, looking like a ban from all UK tourist this year in Spanish resorts because of the covid levels here and other countries have handled it better..

Tourism is phased in... But by healthier countrys first, mainly Scandinavia..

It's not looking like Britain will be able to holiday anywhere in Spain this summer... Announced 2 days ago

Costa Blanca Spain...

Prime minister Sanchez has now spelled out how the lockdown will be relaxed. Still a bit vague on some details but starting to be a bit clearer. He is calling it "new normality"

Interestingly devolved power to adjust the details will be by province rather than region. That means that Benidorm will be controlled by Alicante province rather than Valencia region.

It will be in four phases from 0 - 3 (why they didn't call it 1 - 4 is beyond me)

Each phase will last 14 days but can be extended or even pushed back depending on infection rates.

Phase 0 will start on May 3rd/4th with restrictions being relaxed for gym's, hairdressers, and take away meals from restaurants.

In phase 1 some bars and restaurants "could" be allowed to re-open but that part is unclear as they are mentioned again in phases 2 and 3.

In phase 2 restaurants will be included but operating on one third capacity.

Phase 3 includes all bars and restaurants (still with restrictions) and travel between Spanish regions (but not international) will be allowed. This is expected to be reached by the end of June.

So all being well Benidorm will see its first Spanish tourists in late June/early July. There is no time scale for international visitors but it's safe to say that there will be none before August and probably later than that.

The link below is in German but google does a decent translation. When I find it in English I will post the link.
