I agree that you would feel safer here than in the UK. Unfortunately as witnessed first hand, British tourists where I live have largely been ignoring mask wearing and social distancing. Therefore  you are more likely to catch Covid 19 from other British tourists. Cases are rising on the mai...

...nland, but with no movement restrictions it won't be long before the Balearics experiences the same. Ignoring FCO advice isn't really sensible. You will have invalid travel insurance should anything happen. Just to say, that personally I wouldn't go, we have told our own family and children to stay away and write off 2020. You will certainly find that very little is open, and if you are caught on the street with no mask there is a €100 fine, so , for a family of 6 it would not be cheap. There are still Germans and Dutch here with some French. The majority of Brits have either left, cancelled or rescheduled to a later date. Sorry for the doom and gloom but hope this was helpful for you to make the sensible and right decision.

Hello ,

There are 5 restaurants open in cala egos and the majority are in the marina. Not sure about Petro. There are restrictions in place which many tourists, such as German and British have been ignoring, such as masks and social distancing. I have seen this first hand which is very selfish and anti s...

...ocial, not to mention dangerous for those with underlying health conditions like me and my wife. Your chances of catching covid are therefore increased. The R rate on Mallorca is now over 1.2. I would not be surprised that if this continues, the whole of Spain will again be put into lockdown.  FCO advice is still essential travel only. Holidays are not essential and no insurance coverage will be in force. It is up to you to travel if you want.

There are companies which insure despite FCO advice. Battleface, Staysure and Hays being a few.
