This is starting from next year, not this year 😊

PAY THE PRICE All Brits aged 18-70 will have to pay to visit Europe from next year – here is everything you need to know

BRITS heading to Europe next year will have to pay to enter any EU country.

This is because of a new visa system being introduced for all UK travellers from 2023.

Called the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), Brits will need to have one if travelling for less than 90 days during an 180 day period.

An ETIAS is required if travelling to any European country by plane, boat or car, and is also needed even if only transiting through Europe.

It will cost €7 (£5), and any travellers between 18 and 70 years old will have to have one.

They must be applied for before travelling and can be completed online, with Brits needing to complete it at least 96 hours before departure.

Applicants will be asked for information about their identity, passport, education, job, recent travel, and criminal convictions, including if you have ever been kicked out of a country.

Airlines will also have to check the visa before passengers can board the plane.

Thankfully they will last three years, although will expire if you have to get a new passport.

If you need to stay more than 90 days, you will need a different form of visa, depending on the reason.

The new visa system was meant to be rolled out this year, but was delayed by the new European Union Entry and Exit System (EES) system being rolled out across Europe later this year.

The new digital system will check the person’s name, biometric data and the date and place of entry and exit.

This will replace the stamping of passports and instead scan the documents.

Until then, make sure your passport is stamped on entry and exit, or it could get you banned from visiting the country.

And holidaymakers heading to the US will now have to pay more to get a ESTA, the US visa, with the price going up by 50 per cent from today.

TRAVEL: Spain to allow unvaccinated UK teens to enter with PCR

The Spanish government on Thursday decided it will change its travel rules to allow unvaccinated 12 to 18 year olds from the United Kingdom to enter the country if they present a negative PCR test.

British holidaymakers will be able to travel to Spain with their children aged 12 to 18, even if they are not fully vaccinated against Covid-19.

The changes to Spain’s travel rules for young UK nationals were published on Friday in the country’s official state bulletin BOE, following negotiations between Spain’s Ministries of Health, Interior, Foreign Affairs and Industry, Commerce and Tourism.

Spanish authorities previously required Britons over the age of 12 to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to be able to visit Spain, a rule that’s been in place for all of 2021 for most non-EU/EEA nationals and since December 2021 for UK nationals who don’t reside in Spain.

But from Monday February 14th 2022, unvaccinated non-resident minors aged 12 to 18 travelling from the UK will be able to visit Spain if they present a negative PCR or other NAAT test taken within 72 hours before arrival in Spain.

The announcement by Spanish authorities comes after weeks of appealing by some regional governments and business groups, who argued the vaccination rule for teens was causing thousands of holiday cancellations, especially among British families, thus having a negative impact on the country’s already struggling tourism industry.

The Spanish government has decided to make just the exception for UK teen holidaymakers rather than all non-EU/EEA nationals, perhaps given that in pre-pandemic times they were by far Spain’s main tourism market (18 million Brits visited the country in 2019).

It’s not the first time Spain has been willing to bend the travel rules to accommodate for British holidaymakers, despite their new status as non-EU citizens.

Although the UK has had a somewhat successful vaccination rollout overall, only one in ten British children were legally able to enter Spain for tourism purposes since the rule came into force for them last December. Around 300,000 – roughly 12 percent – of 12 to 15-year-olds in the UK have received two doses.

The rule that still remains in place is that all adult UK nationals who don’t reside in Spain must be fully vaccinated to visit Spain for non-essential reasons such as tourism. There are only a handful of non-EU/EEA countries that are exempt from this rule given their favourable epidemiological situation.

British children under the age of 12 will also continue to be exempt from Spain’s vaccination and testing rules for travel.

So today I’m going to introduce you to La Encarnación in Los Alcazares. The oldest hotel in the town and was once the thermal spa baths for the locals. It’s in a beautiful location right on the Mar Menor shores, and from 8am till 1pm you can get tostada, orange juice and a coffee for 2 euros each !! Absolute bargain ! And one of my favorite places !!

But of light hearted fun for a Tuesday 😂😂

BBQ RULES:
We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:

(1) The woman buys the food.

(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.

(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand.

(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.

Here comes the important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.

(6) The woman goes inside to organise the plates and cutlery.

(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat

Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.

(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.

(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes

And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.

(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women
