Phase 0

Last week we entered Phase 0, giving us the opportunity for outdoor exercise and allowing restaurants to offer takeout.

This week many parts of Spain are entering Phase 1 of deescalation. Unfortunately, the province of Málaga did not quite qualify for Phase 1, mainly due to case numbers in Málaga city. The government is hopeful that Málaga will qualify to enter Phase 1 in a week. It is odd, however, that some provinces were able to open parts, whereas for Málaga it was all or nothing.

The police continue to keep a close eye on us, which is a good thing since some people have started to get a little more bold and are pushing the limits. I was stopped for this week on my way home from the grocery store (I was riding my bike alone during the children’s exercise time). They accepted my explanation and let me go on my way.

For now, our outings serve as a source of much joy.

The beach provides endless possibilities, even though we are not allowed to get in the water yet.

And I continue to be greeted by amazing sunrises for my dawn runs.
