People are walking, jogging and cycling on Spanish streets for the first time in weeks as the country’s tight coronavirus restrictions are eased.
The decision to allow adults to exercise follows a relaxation of the rules for children a week ago.
Spain has suffered one of the world’s worst outbreaks of the coronavirus – more than 213,000 cases and 24,500 deaths – and imposed a stringent lockdown in March.
People were only allowed to leave the house to buy food or medicine, to go to work if working from home was not possible, or to briefly walk the dog.
Until last week it was the only country in Europe where children could not leave home at all.
However, daily exercise is still subject to timetables for different sections of the population to avoid crowds. Training must be carried out close to home and social distancing rules remain.
