Cheers, id say after the meet factories are sorted the number will drop. In about 5 weeks hopefully.
Noraos i wouldn't stay in a multiple dorm, unless it was with a load of blonde eastern European women.
Many have single rooms and private bathrooms. The craic in hostel's is good. I'l be leaving here to feel like on Holidays as most people in hostel's do. Topic of conversation (Feck Covid) Na zdrovia

That’s what I find difficult to understand-if it’ feels so safe what’s happening that cases are soaring again?
They have been asking themselves the same question over the past week in the Spanish press. Particularly as they have gone so heavy on the public mask wearing.
Few reasons, the first of which is not too dissimilar to here.
1. Pre-teens, teens and some younger people still do not see Covid as a big deal. Added to this they allowed nightclubs open ( since reversed)
2. Another similarity to here is the workplaces etc.
3. Masks are everywhere but once you get to a family event, even a simple family dinner it's bye bye mask (obviously) problem is that a Sunday dinner in Spain lasts for several hours and includes lots of people. Spanish people are touchy feely with family. Only takes one weak link to pass the virus around.
4. Numbers are indeed high but F me they are testing tonnes of people. More than half do not have symptoms.
I'm a married man and won't be getting close to anyone on my holiday... I feel perfectly safe going there0 -

bars and restaurants close at 1am now instead of 2 am and no smoking outside in public,only if you can distance yourself 2m from people.
Other than that it still feels extremely safe here, busy around, everyone respecting the restrictions, wearing masks, having a good time.That’s what I find difficult to understand-if it’ feels so safe what’s happening that cases are soaring again?
Probably because it's bullish!t. It is certainly worse in other non touristy areas but it's everywhere.CORONAVIRUS IN COSTA DEL SOL AND ANDALUCIA
