good morning. Is it possible to visit the Alhambra from monday 18th jan. on. And how are the rules, is it less or limited visited nowadays, and how to buy two tickets? Is parking nearby possible? We are in Almunecar. Thank you for answering. Ben, a dutch reader of your great magazine.
Mike: It comes into effect from 23.59h Friday, we believe. Tomorrow the Junta will publish it in the Official Regional Gazette, where it will be confirmed.

We understood from this morning’s announcement that any relaxation of current rules would be affective from midnight this coming Saturday so one will have to wait until Sunday to travel out of your town??

Now Uk are ready to go ahead with vacination for covid do you think Spain will be ready soon
Eve: Yes you can but ask you vet to send you an email or whatsapp confirming that you have such an appointment. That’s what I did when I lived in Otívar; I asked Ana from Veterinary Clinic Keliba for a cover letter in email form, which I printed out. When I was stopped it got me through, no problem

Am I allowed to take my dog out of my municipality to the Vets for his yearly jabs?
June: Only in the parts of Granada, like the city, that were left behind when the Costa Tropical and La Alpujarra moved forward allowing bars and restaurants to open. The municipal-boundary limitations remain in force, though! 😉

Hi Martin

Thanks

Sandra: If you have just read the article on this subject, then you should leave your question there in the comments box, so that other people interested in the same topic can read your question and the reply. 😉
Niels: It has been published… twice, the second with corrections, and it remains clear as mud. What it is clear is that bars and restaurants can open until 18.00h. After that time they can continue with the doors closed providing take-away food, which can be collected at the establishment or delivered. People aren’t allowed to queue up outside, however. Bar and restaurant terraces 100% occupation, inside 30%, customers can’t be served at the bar.

Dear Martin
When is the BOJA concerning the easing of restrictions in granada sur being published?
Regards Niels
Martin
Would like to know if you know the details of the rescuer back in August 2015 where a man lost his life trying to save two youths. I was one of the men that went out to initially to get these lads when a wave just throw me further out to sea. A lad rescued me and another so I would like to thank him. I’ve only just seen article you wrote about it.
Sandra: They close at 21.30h. The article was originally written this morning with the info given by the Junta the previous evening, but later today they changed it again.
In short: food shops and supermarkets can stay open to 21.30h
I just phoned Mercadona in Almuñécar to confirm it.

Food markets to close at 6pm does this mean supermarkets i e Mercadona
Kate: There was no mention of not being able to in the BoJA (official regional gazette). To be on the safe side, I have just checked, and you can, as long as they are in the same municipality and you’re home by 22.00h, of course.

With the new restrictions published today 9th November can we still visit each others homes subject to the max of 6 people? Or has this been stopped due to heavier restrictions for Granada Province?
Sandra: as was the case during the original lockdown when it started, if builders are halfway through a job they can finish it – they’re not going to leave you with an unfinished roof, for example. Whether they can start a new building job or not, I will have to find out.
Sandra: I don’t believe it has to be an emergency. Please phone your dentist tomorrow to confirm this.

Thanks Martin. I hope the coppers are aware of this.
Charlie: Federated players can move between municipalities and even provinces. You must, however, have your Spanish Federation certificate or creditials with you if stopped. This applies to the present restrictions. If they tighten, however, that will be a different matter.

Hi i phoned main Sabadell office and they said the drive through is to pay bills or id you want to draw more money than ATM allows you have to get it at counter.
So all sorted but thank you.
Sandra: What do you mean by “drive through” – do they attend to you from your car? Most banks will only let you pay bills between 08.30h and 10.30h, after that they won’t deal with it. Is this what you mean?
Sandra: you’re going to have to give me more information, I’m afraid. What banks are we talking about; one in particular or all of them, and in which town.
Sandra Mihlenstedt
November 4, 2020 at 9:26 am
Martin can you please explain what this drive through means at banks from 8.15 till 11am .
I see banks then open til 2pm.
Residencia Cantalobos in La Herradura is open over Christmas. They also arrange pick up and drop off if needed.

Thank you to David M and George Neary for your responses. I’m not sure I understand the position any more clearly but from what you are saying it doesn’t appear that the banks know what the situation is at the moment either. Hopefully in time we’ll get some definitive information from them!

Hi Martin
My bank is Sabadell in Salobrena .

Martin can you please explain what this drive through means at banks from 8.15 till 11am .
I see banks then open til 2pm.
Sandra: Yes, I was there Friday. You can go there tomorrow, if you wish.
Is the Town Hall open in Salobrena
Alan: Yes you can. You must take a print out of your ITV appoinment, though.
Can I travel from Almunecar to Algorrobo (Malaga province) on Tuesday 3rd Nov for my ITV appt?
Yes, it means precisely that, starting midnight tonight
What does this lockdown mean we are not allowed into Almunecar or Motril. We must stay in Salobrena
Will gyms be made to close again for this period of alarm
