COVID-19 Diaries: In Spain, Routine Keeps Adults and Children Sane

Alfonso Beato

   BARCELONA, SPAIN - In Spain the confinement began on March 14.

   Since then we have not been out on the street, except to buy food and
   throw away the garbage.

   There are 45 apartments in the building where we live with our young
   son, 200 meters from the sea in the Poblenou neighborhood of Barcelona.
   It was built in 1970 and therefore there are many older people.

   But it is also a neighborhood in transformation and has attracted many
   new families. In all of Barcelona, it is now the neighborhood with the
   most children.
