Hoteliers and restaurateurs are less optimistic
The relaxation of the impending blockade in much of the Corona Spain hotspot has hardly caused applause in Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands. Hotels have been allowed to reopen for the first time in two months from Monday, and restaurants and bars in the outdoor area can accommodate guests again. But the weekly “Mallorca Zeitung” says: “Almost all the houses will remain closed.”
“Not completely clear” safety regulations
It is feared that almost no customer will come. “Why should we open when there are no flights for our guests to arrive?”, Quotes Christoph Gräwert, director of the 900-bed Samos hotel in Magaluf. Furthermore, “it is not yet clear what safety standards we have to comply with.”
Hoteliers await instructions
The Majorcan Hoteliers Association FEHM also announced that they were waiting for more precise instructions. The central government had previously announced that, along with the Balearic Islands, another ten out of a total of 17 “autonomous communities” could enter “phase 1” of the reduction plan on Monday, including the Basque Country and the Canary Islands.
Other regions have to wait
In other regions, such as Catalonia or Valencia, relaxation is only allowed in some areas. The Catalan province of Barcelona, like Madrid, must remain in “Phase 0” for now. The small Canary Islands of El Hierro, La Graciosa and La Gomera, which are barely affected by the virus, and the Balearic Island of Formentera have been in “Phase 1” for a few days.
The so-called state of alarm has been in force throughout Spain since March 15 and at least until May 23. As part of the third-highest level of emergency, there is also a strict exit ban, which was only lifted a week ago.
After all, the weather in Mallorca is currently more stable than on the mainland
