    No it's just what an open letter from the airlines is demanding...

    Oh right, thought the Spanish government were talking at a high level.

    I very much doubt regional exceptions are a possibility as people could just travel from one airport to another, those in NE Spain, for example, could take the regular train across the border to France or down the coast to Valencia or elsewhere. Having said that, no one can second guess the gross incompetence of this government but if they won't remove advice against travelling to Faro in the Algarve when the only spike is in Lisbon, I doubt they will do so for Spain. The correct answer is probably 'it's anyone's guess!'

    Yes you are more than likely correct but then again we have spikes here too - Leicester for example and it's the same scenario in my eyes, just all very inconsistent for me.
