Beaches in Spain open again from summer - but with massive restrictions
According to the Portal Express, the local government of Andalusia has announced that 1,000 kilometers of beaches will be reopened in time for the months of the summer season . Visitors should be allowed to visit the beaches again in July and August.
However, there is a catch: Beach visitors will have to face restrictions in the summer of 2020 in order to maintain the distance rules. Vacationers must follow strict regulations . The local police will pursue them and, if necessary, crack down on them, it is said.

Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of the Government of Andalusia, said in an interview: "We will have to set a number of restrictions and specific measurements. Once the capacities have been set, we will not allow anyone else until there is vaccination and effective treatment ". The local police should monitor the beaches and make sure that there are really only the crowds of people who are allowed.
Bonilla said he was "optimistic" about the reopening of the beaches, even if there were restrictions. "It's not what we're used to, but unfortunately we don't have an effective treatment or coronavirus vaccine, but we'll have to get used to that," he said.

Will vacationers be allowed to travel to Spain's beaches in summer?
It is still unclear whether and when foreign tourists will soon be allowed to lie in the sun on Spain's beaches again. If Andalusia takes an example from the Canary Islands , the opening could take place in stages:
- Beaches are opened to locals.
- On the Canary Islands, for example, visitors from mainland Spain should follow.
- Foreign visitors are only to be admitted again in the autumn months.
So it remains to be seen when Germans can go on holiday in the popular travel destination Spain.
