That being said, summer 2021 is shaping up, the sun is shining and the health authorities have declared it safe for vaccinated individuals to return to life as normal.

Hotels, restaurants and entertainment venues have reopened and are getting back on track with the necessary measures to avoid spreading the virus as much as possible.
