Hello fellow Expats.

I am reaching out for your ideas. In these dire days, I want to raise funds and yes, there are organisations that are out there but what I am more concerned about is the small charities in our community that I want to help. Any ideas?

The Olive Press are willing to run my story and how the idea came about. I want to share it with you and see where we go with this.

Are you with me?

Hi everyone, just wondering if there have been tighter restrictions on dog walking as the guardia stopped me today saying I need to stay next to my home. I have little Spanish so could not converse so really just need clarification. 

Thank you. 

Hi everyone. We are looking to relocate due to health. Can you please advise us the areas to avoid in chiclana when looking to buy apartments. Could do with some local advice on which areas are rowdy and dodgy! Many thanks. John and Lesley.

Hi there, 

My partner and I were at the beginning of a 6 month driving holiday but due to travel advice have decided we need to return to Australia. We are able to get flights but our issue is we have a car that we are needing to store somewhere until we can arrange shipment to Australia. Would anyone know of somewhere/someone who may be able to help. As we are unsure of when Australia may close borders we would ideally like to be on our way by the weekend. 

Kind regards, 

Tarnie 

Hello, 

I’m new here so sorry if this has been asked before. We are hoping to move next year - my husband is probably going to be sponsored in his job. I want to bring my horse with me and I am wondering if there are many liveries in the area. He will be based in Jerez but we will be living in a 30 minute radius. Ideally in looking for a no frills, natural horsemanship type place. 

Any recommendations?

Thanks Debbie 😊

Spain has declared a national lockdown.

You can read the full declaration here (in Spanish):

Here are the details from the Guardian in English:

"The Spanish government has formally declared a state of emergency over the coronavirus, placing the country in lockdown and ordering people to stay at home for the next two weeks unless they have to buy food or medicine or go to work or hospital.

The prime minister confirmed that people would be required to stay home from Monday morning and that all non-essential shops would close, along with bars, restaurants, cafes and cinemas.

Supermarkets, small food shops, pharmacies, petrols stations and pet supply shops are among those businesses that will remain open.

He said: “During the state of emergency, people will only be allowed out on to public streets for the following reasons: to buy food, basic or pharmaceutical items; to attend medical centres; to go to and from work; to look after children, older people or those with disabilities or who are especially vulnerable, and to attend financial or insurance offices on force majeure grounds.”

Speaking after a seven-hour cabinet meeting on Saturday evening, the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, said “extraordinary decisions” needed to be taken as Spain grappled with a “health, social and economic crisis”.

Sánchez said the central government would direct the response and that all the local, national and regional police forces would come under the command of the interior ministry. He also said that the army was standing by and ready to help with the emergency response.

Sánchez acknowledged that the measures needed to tackle the coronavirus would have a “big economic impact” but said the government was committed to mitigating its effects."

Hi everyone, I know this is a strange and difficult time for all of us but am hoping for some clarity re lock down from Monday. Essentially are we still able to take our beloved dog for a walk!?? 

Also assuming that we are also still permitted to dispose of our household rubbish as per normal. 

Really want to know what to do so any help will be greatly appreciated!!
