Just wondered what the current position is on mask wearing please? Any updates appreciated.

...Brits here back at home.  On the coast it's very relaxed but some still wear masks walking around outside, their choice, we didn't outside, except for the Mall.  Cash was widely accepted (supermarkets, stores, restaurants, kiosks etc.) We did our Antigen tests at Medico Centro in  San Javier, we booked 4 weeks on advance, they were very busy - you need to book in advance. I hope this helps and enjoy your trip.
