It is a surreal sensation. You go to a tourist resort in June but there are no tourists. Hotels are boarded up, shops are closed, restaurants are opening soon. Welcome to Majorca in 2020. This is what I discovered in Puerto Pollensa last week; the once bustling streets are empty and for the business community it is a question of hoping that the nightmare will end soon.

Normally every winter is what you witnessed in Pollensa and ALL the other Urbanisations in Mallorca. It is time to encourage 6 months of employment and associated contracts. Bringing the Islands late Season to Xmas, NewYear and Three Kings. Should Hoteliers and the Business community encourage WINTER HOLIDAYS at Special Low-Cost Offers? They could continue to remain open throughout the whole of next year. Thereby recovering from all their losses this year. On seeing a Winter Holiday Offers demand, The Low-Cost Airline Carriers will put on more Flights through the Winter, to meet the demand.
Update. My Travel Ins' says if I booked a holiday before 18th March 2020 I "may" be covered for Covid19 related travel claims.
UK Foreign Office Advice. Forget the rest...............this is what matters. SPAIN 'essential travel only'. Until this is lifted your on your own. No insurance, no assistance etc, etc.
