A guide to visiting Catalonia this summer, despite Covid

Where to go and what to do. A look at the rules and regulations for entering Spain from abroad as well as the Covid measures in place on arrival.  Cillian Shields and Guifré Jordan join Lorcan Doherty to chat about summer plans and tourist itineraries, including everything from adventure sports to wine tasting. They discuss what is open for tourists in Barcelona and, after a devastating summer last year, ask what hopes the tourism industry has for a recovery.  This week's Catalan phrase is "fer l'agost", literally "to do August," it means to earn a lot of money.
