Yesterday we published an update to the stage two restrictions coming into effect tonight. There has been confusion amongst news outlets as to whether or not bars and restaurants could remain open between 6pm and 8pm. Today the Junta De Andalucia has clarified the rules, saying that only cafeterias may remain open and they may not sell alcohol. Bars and restaurants must close for this two hour period.
