Sadly the situation seems to be getting worse -

Thank you for all the information above - As we were still feeling a little uncertain regarding the current situation we have decided we will still go to the villa but are only coming for 7 nights now instead of 14. I will post on our return and let you know how we got on.

As from today Mallorca along with other regions now has a curfew from 11pm until 6 a.m
The regional government have not put any travel restrictions in place at the moment, but with the state of alarm are allowed to prevent travel between regions.

Thanks for the information, we are due out on the 4th with parents joining us for a few days from Murcia on the 7th - concerned now that they may not be allowed to travel from the mainland, and through the different regions, so will be keeping an eye on any future announcements closely!

If I read it correctly, it seems that the Spanish Government are hoping to extend this ruling for another 6 Months. Can anyone confirm that, because we are then getting to the region where they are threatening next season as well.

VERY depressing.

This new ruling is set to run until May 2021 but individual regions can make changes as and when they feel it is safe.

At my time of life it would truly be a miracle if I was awake at that time , never mind outside.

Although it's clearly quiet here the restrictions aren't really impacting the quality of life. Wearing a mask is easy now in the cooler weather. The shops and bars which are open are still nice to visit. Infections rate overall are stagnating at 100/day but mostly in larger towns. Pollença is still st c. 20 cases.

I've got to say, again, that folks here don't socially distance very well...

The initial state of alarm is for 15days and then they need to the approval of congress to extend. The government as has been said wants 6 months but that may get reduced. We have to wait and see.

For arrivals into Mallorca from the UK, is there a current requirement to have taken and passed a COVID test within 72 hours of arrival? I’m getting conflicting opinions on this. Thanks

This is from the official Spanish government website

If you are travelling from a high risk country or area, you must provide a negative PCR test carried out within 72 hours prior to your arrival in Spain. In the event of not having done the PCR test, you will be liable to a fine and a test being carried out at the airport upon arrival.

The UK is shown as a high risk area

Yes definitely.
