Masks
Masks must be worn:
• In all shops and supermarkets.
• In all interior establishments open to the public like banks and galleries.
• In places like tourist offices and information centres, museums, petrol stations etc.
Masks do not have to be worn:
• Outside if social distancing is maintained.
• In bars and restaurants once seated.
It is advisable to carry a mask at all times as police can issue on the spot fines to people who do not have them. Face masks and hand sanitising gel can be bought in most supermarkets and in chemist shops (Farmacias).
Supermarkets
• As with all establishments, supermarkets provide hand sanitising gel at the entrance, which must be used.
• Social distancing must be maintained at the checkouts. There are arrows and markers on the floors to help.
Shopping in General
• Shops and markets are open as usual. Masks must be worn at all times and gel used where provided.
Beaches
• The beaches are all open, they are not busy and have plenty of room for everyone.
• There are no apps or portioned sections but the life guards and police regularly patrol and remind people, if necessary, to keep to the social distancing rules. It’s all done in a very friendly way.
Dining and bars
• The majority of restaurants and bars are now open.
• Tables, both inside and outside, are spaced 2 metres apart so that social distancing can be maintained.
• Masks do not need to be worn whilst eating or drinking but must be worn whilst moving around in the restaurant.
• At present it is not necessary to book a table in a restaurant.
Banks
• Cash, debit and credit cards are accepted in shops and supermarkets
• Banks are open but numbers allowed inside are limited. There is usually a queue outside and people are called in on an individual basis by a member of staff.
Transport
• The local bus service is limited so it’s advisable to check timetables before travelling. Masks must be worn on all public transport.
• Taxis are available as usual. Masks are compulsory whilst riding in a taxi.
