I spoke too early.... took friends for a walk in the mountains today and on returning to the coast saw supermarket car parks full. Odd I thought.
Then heard about lockdown....all bars, restaurants, cinemas etc closed from midnight tonight. Initially 15 days but I expect it to be much longer.
After returning to supermarkets and stocking up with booze, plus bread, milk, water, pasta, we headed into Moraira. Lots of bars already closed. Some deserted. A few very busy. We had our last meal out for the foreseeable future.
Beaches cordoned off. Police visiting all bars to remind owners of the consequences of non compliance. Even my walking group has cancelled all organised walks as of this evening, which is the best course of action. I’ll still be walking in the mountains, then staying at our villa which I’m sharing with friends.
Lots of books to read. Alicante Jet2 flights back to Leeds full for the next few days....I’m due home in 2 weeks, but at the moment who knows. Strange times indeed.
