Monday morning, the emergency decree comes into effect, basically shutting down all movement in Spain except for going to work (for those who cannot telework), shopping for food and other basic necessities and accessing medical services. There are a few exceptions having to do with caring for elderly or disabled people etc., but certainly all leisure activities are finished for now. Even my bicycle rides will be forbidden from tomorrow (the decree specifies permitted uses of public roads, and recreational cycling is not one of them). So, yesterday afternoon, my daughter and I drove to the centre of Alicante while we still can to document the highly unusual look of the city. This is the main pedestrian coastal promenade, normally full of people on a sunny afternoon: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-KKDJFqX/A Calle Mayor, one of the main restaurant streets: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-tVrs7Gd/A The playground in a small park near my house: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-k7SLwp5/A Our beach, now closed: https://www.greatpix.eu/All/Picture-A-Day/i-v8G4Q9q/A The next 2 weeks I am working at home and not going out much. Walking on the beach promenade will continue to be possible, so that will be that.
