It has been a nightmare Christmas for many local restaurants and my heart goes out to their owners and staff. I was chatting to one restaurant owner who told me that his suppliers had been asking him to order for Christmas early because of the threatened transport strike. He did so gambling that a good festive period would save the day and overcome the big financial outlay. But days before Christmas the cancellations started to come in as the number of Covid cases rose and also it appears that relatively large numbers of people still do not have their Covid passport.
Last orders....
Instead of packed restaurant it was a case of half full...or half empty

Gibraltar (100% vaccinated, insane lockdown measures and masks) has exactly the same covid fatality rate of 0.3% than the cruise-ship Diamond Princess (0% vaccinated, 0 measures, 0 masks). Meaning all those insane measures, costing millions of jobs, destroying millions of businesses, did prevent exactly 0 illnesses and 0 deaths. It was for nothing.
We wouldn’t have a problem if politicians stuck to politics, or better still stayed at home, and let the rest of us get on with our lives.
And this is because people like you and this newspaper continue to ramp up the call for further restrictions
Spain is bankrupt and on the EU umbillical cord for money. What help can you expect here..... Sad.
