Travellers will now be able to enjoy an “ultra safe” stay at a Spanish campsite but only if they test COVID-19 negative themselves.
Trillas Platja Tamarit in Tarragona, located on the north-east coast near Barcelona, has introduced COVID-19 tests on arrival for guests who wish to enter the “Paradise” zone. This special zone comprises 40 mobile homes, 10 pitches, beach views, a sports area, a swimming pool, restaurant and entertainment.
The Paradise zone is inspired by similar schemes in South Korea, reported Independent, and will open later in July. Guests will be able to avail fast-tracked testing that would deliver results in six hours. Meanwhile, they would have to wait in a holding zone, wear masks and practise social distancing.
