    What is the compliance level with those quarantines?

    Find it hard to believe it is very high - should be really in designated hotels, massive penalties for even thinking to break it

      According to someone on another forum, who lives in Spain, the outbreaks are not even in tourist areas.
      The canaries and balerics are exempt.

      The outbreak seems to be mainly Murcia and Catalonia but it's difficult to prove where someone has been so a blunt tool it has to be.

        I don't know what compliance levels are like but enforcement is pitiful.

          Sure about that?

          The Spanish government is focused on convincing Britain to exclude the Balearic and Canary islands from a 14-day quarantine it abruptly imposed on all travellers returning from Spain, Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzalez Laya said on Sunday.

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                Yes, very sure.

                Spain travel advice - GOV.UK

                From 26 July, the FCO advises against all non-essential travel to mainland Spain based on the current assessment of COVID-19 risks. Only the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa) and Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, and Formentera) are exempt from the FCO advice against all non-essential international travel.

                  Quarantine rule is surely different from advice whether to travel in the first place

                    Oh yes. I missed that. I had stupidly assumed the guidance was consistent across the two and didn't read two paragraphs down.

                    I'm off to Seville anyway. Rate per 100k people is 11, lower than the UK.

                      You have never heard of the Seville Calculator?
