Andalucia - Where can we go and when?

Map of municipalities in Andalucia

NEW restrictions in Andalucia mean that from Tuesday, November 10, there are limits to where we can go and when, unless the reason can be justified.

It will help people to carry documents to prove their reason for travelling between towns, cities or villages, or within their municipal boundaries, is justified.
We are allowed to travel to another municipality for the following reasons:
Attend health centres, pharmacies, health care services or vets – show the doctor’s referral note or receipt for the medicine purchased.
Meet professional, business, institutional or legal obligations – Companies can provide their employees with a document which proves they need to go to work, based on the one in this document issued during lockdown.
Travel home – Returning to your place of residence can be proved by having the correct address on any ID that you carry, however, you may need to prove to the police that you have left the town for one of the above justified reasons.
Taking care of a dependant person (elderly, disabled, minors) – the Certificate proving their condition can be shown. If you do not have it, you can request that police accompany you to the home of the person you are looking after.
Travel to banks, insurance offices or petrol stations in adjacent areas – If you go to get petrol, keep the ticket, but you will also have to prove that you are travelling due to one of the justified reasons. For banks or insurance offices, carry documents to prove where you have been which have the date.
Attend urgent procedures at public, judicial or notary institutions, sit exams or official tests, renew permits and official documents, amongst other administrative procedures which can’t be postponed – As above, carry proof of appointments or similar.
Go to school, college, infant school or other education centres such as music and sports (except universities, unless it is for practical lessons) – Carry proof that you or your child attends the centre, this can be issued by the school.
