Visiting, moving and the virus

This will be our third summer to travel to Spain. We keep edging closer and closer to figuring out how to move her, and these trips are helping us figure out just where to light. The last time we came up the coast, we landed for a day in Cartagena and really loved it. So we are headed back there this time to give it another look see. My question - is there an expat mixer in May that we could attend? And in looking at housing to consider, I notice that Santa Lucia is quite a bit less than other areas. What is the reason for that? Oh, and what is going on in Cartagena in terms of the coronavirus? I saw that Madrid was closing universities. I guess we might have to reschedule our trip. Here's hoping this bad bug fades when the weather warms up.
