Originally posted by ladymuck View PostYep, August is definitely not the most sensible time to visit
We went to Cadiz first for a few days then up to Seville.
Already thinking of a return (it was my first visit, both have been on my to-do list for ages) that will include Jerez and Sanlucar too. I think April/May would be perfect, and that apparently coincides with the main tuna catch in Cadiz.
Next time save a day to visit the Mezquita in Cordoba. The contrast between Islamic and Christian architecture in that building is astonishing.

Still my favourite Spanish city though.

Very different experiences at Heathrow compared to Seville. The Spaniards are taking this virus malarkey much more seriously.

Police reinforcements were called out to Malaga Airport last night to control a group of Essex ‘yobs’ who had refused to wear their masks on a flight from the UK.
The Spanish police didn’t waste any time and dashed straight to the arrivals hall where a large group of youths were already ‘mouthing off’ at officials who were demanding they put on their masks.
One of the youths could be heard stupidly trying to talk Spanish to the officer, : “Me no have mask mate, me English, tourist- we all bring mucho dosho toSpain- where is nearest bar-o?”
Cabin crew from the flight the yobs had landed on were seen giving statements to the police. “It is a very serious offence and heavy fines or even prison could be handed out” said the girl, who did not wish to be named for fear of reprisals.”We all knew they would be trouble when they boarded the flight. We informed the captain but we were too close to landing to divert back to the UK. The other passengers, mainly older people, didn’t want any trouble with boozed-up yobs and just sat there and played with their phones or pretended to be asleep.”
After a stern warning, in perfect English, the youths were led away to a waiting police van, not so mouthy now after they realised you do not mess with the Spanish police. They will be put in front of a judge in the morning to find out their fate. If they are lucky they will come away with a fine, if not, their holiday is over.

I’m going to Spain in a few weeks to visit family.
Renting accommodation. My insurance is invalid so I’m having to go with another insurer, and my return flight was cancelled, so I booked an alternative.
I live in greater manchester and the young people and most of the local communities couldn’t give a tulip about social distancing. So screw this, I’ll rather take my chances over there :
Oh.. my contract.. WFH till end of the year so quarantine not an issue.Last edited by BABABlackSheep; 5 August 2020, 12:32.

I'd do it again though with no issues at all. Glad I went.
