Since the opening of the borders, people have started to travel with caution. Tourism numbers are not what they used to be, but we all want to get some fresh air after months of confinement. Also, it is much more difficult to catch the coronavirus in the open air. If you are not sure where to go, you can see Omio's Open Travel Index<\/a>Select the country you are in and see the list of places where you can travel safely. We have three recommendations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Alentejo, Portugal<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This region in the south of the neighbouring country has been one of the least affected by COVID-19, so it is a fairly safe area. Moreover, its beaches are huge, in particular the Comporta beach, which stretches for 40 km. With so much space, it is no problem to keep a safe distance at all times, even when swimming in the Atlantic. The beaches' proximity to Lisbon makes them easy to reach by train, bus or car. Portugal has launched the Safe and Clean<\/em>which ensures that the accommodation has the necessary security measures in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 2. Arcachon, France<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Arcachon Bay is located in the Aquitaine region, very close to the capital city of Bordeaux. From the town of Arcachon you can visit one of the many beaches that stretch along the bay as far as Cap Ferret. Our favourite is Pyla-sur-Mer, which has one of the highest dunes in Europe. This is an ideal place to go with children, and let them play on the dune as if it were a giant slide. The size of the beaches and the low population density of the area make it a fairly safe choice for a holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you've been thinking about taking the plunge for a while, this is the year to do it. By walking along extensive paths and mountain ranges, you can wander for hours without seeing anyone, and go camping at night under the stars. If you prefer to stop at one of the many albergues along the Camino, you'll be pleased to know that all of them have been fully compliant since they reopened on 1 July. It is advisable to book in advance, as in many cases the capacity of the accommodation is limited.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Since the opening of the borders, people have started to travel with caution.
