My son flew to Portugal this morning for a week in Vilamoura, he said it's quiet but most places are open. I'm driving down tomorrow and meeting up with him on sunday. Be handy if we don't have to isolate on our return but not an issue for us if we have to0

Good luck to you all trying to get away.
If it does go tits up though and you have trouble getting a refund you could be in for a very long wait.
Been waiting 3 1/2 months and been told by Barclaycard it could be another 2 months.0 -
Had two weeks to Turkey in August have pushed this back to next year.My current job involves oversea travel, have been told this won’t be happening until there is a vaccine available and this seems to be the same for all of my clients.As the only people I know who have contracted Covid 19 did so soon after flying I am in no rush to board a plane anytime soon.0

If you end up in hospital abroad Covid related or not and have no insurance it could bankrupt you, although some people seem to crowdfund these days.1

Wondering how it will work with the EU health card if we decide to go to France.1

I've just renewed mine and waiting for it to arrive and as an EU resident I am hoping it lasts for the two years from start date as usual. Guess it will cover abroad for Covid as well but need to look into this.0

Love the food there particularly the Tapas bars.
Do you know if they are open?
Are they subject to social distancing?
Are folks required to wear face covering?0 -

Was there last year, food in the Tapas bars best I ever seen and tasted.
Apparently there are more Michelin star restaurants in San. Sebastian than any other place in the world.
The beach is pretty good as well.
Went to Madrid a couple of years ago and enjoyed the city.
Cordoba, Seville, Granada and the stunning Alhambra brilliant places to visit.
Really rate Spain.

Picture the scene.
Bastille Day 2017.
My wife and I were staying on the south side of the town on the Dordogne.
It was early evening and we'd decided to investigate a celebration event on the quayside and have some food.
A band was playing and smoke was rising from stalls cooking various foods.
We encountered a stall selling local Bergerac wine.
The bloke on the stall was giving out small plastic cups of the red juice, free for tasters.
"This is good stuff" I remember saying to my wife.
We sat ourselves on one of the benches a listened to the band playing.
"I'm really enjoying this wine, shall we purchase a large cupful?" I said.
"And then I will go over there and buy some of that food on that outlet" I said pointing to a bloke who was cooking some potatoes and stuff.
She nodded in agreement.
So we sat and enjoyed a large plastic cupful of the delicious red juice listening to the band.
"Well that was really nice" I said as we finished the cupfuls.
"I'll tell you what". She looked at me knowing what i was about to suggest.
"If we buy a bottle of the wine we can drink maybe half and take the rest back and drink it later"
She nodded.
I purchased a bottle and suggested that when the queue of folk had reduced I would buy some of that food.
So we drank some of the wine.
My wife started singing with the band.
I couldn't make out what she was singing because she speaks little French!!
"In a minute I will go over there and," I stopped because she was singing and taking no notice of me.
I looked at the bottle and we'd consumed more than half, so we finished the rest and staggered back home.
We've been to France a few times since and always manage to bring a bottle of Bergerac back to the Uk.
Enjoy Bergerac Redskin.

Had flights to Lanzarote in September ... received email from BA that outgoing flight cancelled.
Took the opportunity to cancel entire trip as I’m not convinced will be safe in September ... received voucher to rebook any time before March 2022 which works for me.
Even better, the hotel has cancelled with no cost and offered same price for whenever I rebook ... great result.1 -
Do you think me and my family are mad going to southern Italy in the middle of August? I am the only one that’s worried. Just won’t feel like we can relax. It’s a villa holiday with my kids and in laws.0
