Recommendations & Requests
Wes Woodwork: I’d like to recommend Wes Woodwork. He carried out a job for us that proved to be not as straightforward as it looked. Never complained, kept us informed it would take a little longer due to the problems he encountered, and came back to make a minor adjustment, always with a smile and with good humour and patience. And on top of that, the work has transformed my room. Wes advertises on FB, not sure where else. But highly recommended. Valerie Fahey, El Morche, vjfahey0 AT gmail D0t com

The Government decrees the state of alarm and wants to extend it until May 9: {Translated from seville.abc.es}
Updated: 25/10/2020 20:12h
The New Rules That Began Last Night
Pedro Sánchez has appeared at a press conference to explain the measures of the new state of alarm. It will be imposed curfew between eleven at night and six in the morning throughout the national territory, except the Canary Islands. In addition, the autonomous communities may define their entire territory or some areas. The idea of ??the Government, Sánchez explained, is to extend the state of alarm for 6 months, until May 9, 2021.
The BOE has already published the Royal Decree, so as the curfew goes into effect tonight (Sunday) from 23 pm to 6 am. It will be valid until November 9, but it may be extended for periods of 15 days, after the approval of the Congress of Deputies. Read its full content here. The main measures contained in the BOE are the following:
1. Limits the movement of people at night
As already mentioned, it limits free movement and mobility during the period between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. The Autonomous Communities may determine, within their territorial scope, that schedule and begin and end an hour earlier or later: that is, prevent mobility between 10 p.m. and 12 a.m. or between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Activities allowed
It will only be possible to circulate on the roads or spaces for public use during that time slot for:
a) Acquisition of medicines, health products and other essential goods.
b) Assistance to health centers, services and establishments.
c) Assistance to veterinary care centers for urgent reasons.
d) Compliance with labor, professional, obligations business, institutional or legal .
e) Return to the place of habitual residence after carrying out some of the activities foreseen in this section.
f) Assistance and care for the elderly, minors, dependents, people with disabilities or especially vulnerable people.
g) Due to force majeure or situation of need.
h) Any other activity of a similar nature, duly accredited.
i) Refueling at gas stations or service stations, when necessary to carry out the activities set forth in the preceding paragraphs.
2. Forbidden to enter and leave the communities
In general, the entry and exit is restricted of people from the territory of each autonomous community and each city with a Statute of Autonomy except for the exceptions that we will detail below. Yes, it will be possible to circulate in transit between communities for work reasons, studies, etc., which will be indicated below.
The restriction of the entry and exit of communities does not affect the border regime. In the event that it affects a territory with a land border with a third State, the delegated competent authority will notify the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation in advance.
In addition, the delegated authorities may limit the entry and exit of people in territorial areas that are geographically inferior in nature to a region or autonomous city, with the exceptions provided below.
Exceptions
Yes, you can go from one community to another to:
a) Attend health centers, services and establishments.
b) Compliance with labor, professional, business, institutional or legal obligations.
c) Attendance at university, teaching and educational centers, including nursery schools.
d) Return to the place of habitual or family residence.
e) Assistance and care for the elderly, minors, dependents, people with disabilities or especially vulnerable people.
f) Travel to financial and insurance entities or refueling stations in neighboring territories.
g) Required or urgent actions before public, judicial or notarial bodies.
h) Renewals of permits and official documentation, as well as other administrative procedures that cannot be postponed.
i) Taking exams or official tests that cannot be postponed.
j) Due to force majeure or need.
k) Any other activity of a similar nature, duly accredited.
3. Meetings of a maximum of six people
The size of groups of people in spaces of public use, both closed and outdoors, will be conditional on not exceeding the maximum number of six people, except in the case of cohabitants and without prejudice to the exceptions established in relation to dependencies, facilities and establishments open to the public .
The same goes for meetings in private spaces. In the case of groups that include both cohabiting and non-cohabiting people, the maximum number referred to in the preceding paragraph will be six people.
4. Manifestations: yes, if distance is guaranteed
Meetings in places of public transit and demonstrations carried out in exercise of the fundamental right regulated in article 21 of the Constitution may be limited, conditioned or prohibited when the prior communication presented by the promoters does not guarantee the personal distance necessary to prevent contagions
5. Places of worship
The regional governments will be in charge of limiting the permanence of people in places of worship setting the capacity for religious meetings, celebrations and gatherings, tending to the risk of transmission that may exist.
6. Flexilization and suspension of limitations
Each regional government may, in view of the evolution of the health, epidemiological, social, economic and mobility indicators, after notifying the Ministry of Health, modulate, make flexible and suspend the application of the prohibition to enter and leave the communities, the maximum limit of group meetings and the capacity and stay in places of worship.
7. Competences
Each Administration will retain the powers granted by current legislation, as well as the management of its services and its personnel, to adopt the measures it deems necessary, without prejudice to the provisions of the Royal Decree. The coordinating body is the Interterritorial Health Council.
8. Penalty regime
Failure to comply with the provisions of the royal decree or resistance to the orders of the competent authorities will be sanctioned in accordance with the laws, in the terms established in article 10 of Organic Law 4/1981, of June 1.

Andalucia prohibits meetings of more than six people both on the street and in homes: {Translated from seville.abc.es} The order has been published in an extraordinary BOJA this past Friday and will come into effect at 00:00 this Sunday.
The Junta de Andalucía orders the limitation of a maximum of six people for the development of any activity, whether of a family nature or on public roads.
The Andalusian Executive weeks ago made this recommendation that, starting this Sunday at 00:00, it will be an obligation for all territories that have restrictive measures, that is, the capitals of Seville, Jaén, Córdoba and Granada and some of their municipalities.
The publication of the BOJA extraordinary this past Friday night intends to adopt specific measures for the containment of Covid-19, both in localities where the restriction on the mobility of the population or part of it has been agreed, and in those in which have been established the measures of the BOJA of October 14, 2020.
One of the most prominent orders of this text has been the one concerning meetings of people, since they will be limited to six people, including cohabitants, unless there are more than six (I believe this allows cohabitating families of greater than 6 persons to gather at home. -Ed.). In other words, there may not be meetings of more than half a dozen people either on the street or at home.
This order will come into effect at 00:00 this Sunday, October 25.
