According to the contagion figures, Salobreña will be able to open up again, having completed a fortnight closed down.
Seven other municipalities will also be ‘released’ from confinement: Campotéjar, Dílar, Dúrcal, Juviles, Salar, Turón and Vélez de Benaudalla
The Mayor of Salobreña, María Eugenia Rufino, is a bit uneasy about it because the contagion figures could easily climb back up to the 500 mark causing another perimeter closure.
For this reason she calls upon residents to exercise caution: “This reopening does not mean that we can let our guard down,” she said.
Regardless of any misgivings, at 23.59h tonight (or 01.00h Wednesday, if you prefer) the perimeter restrictions will be lifted
At the moment Salobreña has a contagion figure of 431.6 per 100,000 inhabitants, but just a few cases more and it’s back to lock down.
As for the Andalucia-wide restrictions, they continue to be in force: you cannot leave the province, nor enter nearby townships that are locked down. The maximum number of people that can gather in a dwelling or in social conditions is four people. All bars and other business must close by 18.00h and the night curfew remains in place.

Fred: Yes, as long as that person does not live in a town that is shut down, such as Motril or Almuñécar, for instance.
Thank you for the update. Does that mean someone who lives in the neighbouring municipality can now visit Velez de Benaudalla to carry out some maintenance works? It’s for selfish reasons as I own a property in the town and moving there later this year. Thank you.
Charlotte: Yes, sorry – typo! Now corrected 😉
Businesses and bars has to close at 18.00, not 16.00
