FINALLY!
BACK ON THE BEACH! I couldn’t believe it when we entered Phase Three and going to the beach for a swim was ok. It finally feels like we are getting back to normal and we can all enjoy a fun summer with our family and friends. I know that teens are getting a pretty bad rap in Spain, with quite a few videos having been taken of ‘botellones’ and other parties with heaps of people huddled together and nobody wearing masks. There are safe ways to get together with others without risking our own health or that of our parents or grandparents. I thought I would share a few recent Instagrammable moments. These are the first five things I did as lockdown restrictions started easing. WORDS JOFFREE KING
HIT THE BEACH I went with my dad and one school friend. We met on the beach and kept a 2m distance from each other, without missing out on swimming, surfing, and a paella afterwards at the chiringuito. Man, I missed having lunch on the beach! The place we chose was pretty cool; it had a kind of door you had to go through that ‘sprayed’ you with a cleansing spray.
