Per that article, mere *participation* in a private party exceeding the 30 indoor / 70 outdoor rule will win you a fine between 3,000-60,000 euros. Is that correct?

Unlikely. The fines are on a sliding scale with the big money for those that put them on (especially if they are charging for it). Participation may well land you with a few hard cracks with a police baton tho.
 
It seems the EU entry restrictions can be waived by member countries. Croatia is allowing US travelers to enter, without test or quarantine. Unless border checks *within* the EU between member countries have been introduced (anyone know?), some folks on here might be in luck for an IBZ trip after all.

EDIT: I see now Croatia is not part of the Schengen Zone, so probably no dice after all!

They agree as a bloc, but its implemented by member country. Theoretically, Spain could break to individually allow banned nations to enter, but they would also likely receive some restrictions from other EU members. For example Italy has optioned to do thins but in being more strict and limiting to EU tourists only. The citizens from the 15 "approved" nations are not allowed to enter Italy.

I have mentally checked out and starting to not assume a trip to Spain this year. That said, if things magically loosen up later this month I would go....
 
What need is there for masks outdoors FFS? Shops, which have narrow aisles, buses, taxis, fine. But around big hotel areas reception areas and bars?
they want tourists - this is how to put them off as has been already mentioned on here.
 
We’re used to the masks as they’ve been compulsory here since March. So it’s no change for us.

it’s literally just a mask. I actually don’t see the big deal. As soon as you’re sat at your dinner/bar table or on your beach towel you can remove it

Imagine having to keep reminding yourself on ‘holiday’ though. Constantly reminding yourself when you should/shouldn’t be wearing one. No thanks
 
Had Trance week booked for beginning of September. Awaiting the inevitable news that will be cancelled as non of the events will obviously be on. Had a second concurrent week booked through Tui for 9-16th of September and was very shocked to receive an email yesterday saying it was cancelled. Thought things were on the up? No Ibiza this year :cry:
 
I think if people want to take the risk and go on holiday rn, then the small matter of wearing a mask is quite a small price to pay
Isn't it funny how in the past if you covered your face you couldn't get into a shop or a bar - hey, try to get in some bars round here with a cap or hoodie on - now it's obligitory! Meaning how fecking stupid the "no caps" rule was.

No caps no hoodies was just cover for not leaving certain types in...I was in town earlier and all the junkies are easier to spot now as they are all wearing masks and gloves ?

This is correct. It's not difficult to do. People just don't like being told they HAVE to do something. At this point wearing a mask is essentially a wearable IQ test and I really hope everywhere adopts the mask requirement.

It's not difficult, but it's not pleasant either. They're often uncomfortable, they get in the way when talking to people, and frankly I like to smile at people and see them smile back. When it comes to thinking about a holiday, I absolutely think it would diminish the experience and it's a factor on whether the trip would be worth the time and money.

That said, I do wear a face mask regularly as there's an important public need to do so. But I think a message of shared sacrifice for the common good is a lot more effective. For a lot of people (including me), being constantly yelled at to do something makes me less and less inclined to comply.

I am totally with you. Wearing a mask sucks, but the alternative is far worse. I had to wear a mask on holiday a couple weeks ago, at first it was annoying but I got used to it quickly. It honestly wasn't bad. The annoying part was having to remember it, once it became part of the daily routine I honestly didn't mind.

I’m over for that. We’ve had no contact from Jet2 saying the holiday has been cancelled so it looks like we will still be going. The people running the Trance event are still hopeful for some reason, looks like they will leave it as late as possible to make the call.

I’ve just started back at work last weekend (factory) we have to wear ours at all time’s as soon as we’re on site, it feels so clinical and your right you can’t see anyone smiling or having a laugh. I’m not looking forward to having to wear them in shops which looks like it’s coming soon in England. I’ll wear at work as I’m paid to but just not happy about being forced to to nip to the shop
 
I've been wearing mine to the shop for a while now - people just not respecting social distancing measures, and I figured that it was eventually going to be the case that they become mandatory anyway.

I don't like them, so can only imagine the discomfort in hot climates or environments, but needs must.
