I went for a walk to the Ventas Bullring. Although it is rarely included in Japanese tourist routes, it is very popular with tourists from other countries. With its neo-Mudejar architecture, the exterior is very beautiful, and there were a lot of people from morning till night before going into self-restraint.
In Japan, it was reported that Madrid was restricted from moving, but as long as you don't go out of the city, you are free to shop and eat out. Due to restrictions on the number of users and shortening of business hours, the number of newly infected people has been flat recently. We are working to prevent the spread of infection without stopping economic activities.
In August, Spain, where the number of infected people is increasing, as in Japan. Even if the social distance is maintained, it is compulsory to wear a mask in public spaces, and with the rapid increase in the number of infected people, preventive measures and regulations are becoming stricter. The other day, I went to a cute town called Chinchon, which is about 45 minutes drive from the city of Madrid. Sometimes it was a weekend, so there were relatively many people, and most cafes were open. The disinfectant solution for the hands was placed in the place where all the cafes could understand, and many people were wearing masks and chatting when not eating or drinking. Although there are few foreign tourists, I often see people visiting from Madrid or taking a leisurely coffee break to enjoy the holiday season.
