"How will coronavirus crisis affect chances of Brits staying in Spain after Brexit transition period?", The Local, 02 | 06 | 2020 - Reportaje
Before the coronavirus crisis disrupted everything, many Brits already in Spain or planning to move here were working hard to get their paperwork properly in order before the withdrawal agreement period ends... But when covid-19 hit Spain, it not only scuppered travel plans but forced people who were planning on moving here to put the relocation on hold. The total lockdown in Spain also meant ... delays in registering and paperwork. ... as long as you are legally resident here by the end of 2020 your rights to continue to live and work here are guaranteed. And for those who have retired here, the Withdrawal Agreement guarantees that UK state pensioners will continue to have lifelong healthcare access as long as they remain living in Spain (this also applies to residents who claim a UK state pension in the future) and that UK state pension will continue to be uprated. ... the Embassy ... advice is to keep checking the Spanish Administration portal to see if appointments for “residencia” are available again in your area. ... having a NIE ... is not a guarantee that you are registered as a resident. ... It is also not the same as being registered on the Padron ... The TIE ... is the residence document that will explicitly show you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement once the transition period is over and it is likely at some point that Brits in Spain will have to replace their green certificate with a TIE.

"Los extranjeros siguen comprando casas en la playa pese a la pandemia", El Mundo, 28 | 05 | 2020 - Reportaje (Gema Peñalosa)
Los clientes comunitarios -principalmente de la Costa Blanca- siguen siendo ... fieles a la oferta inmobiliaria y los promotores han consolidado sus ventas. ... lo atestigua el último informe de la Asociación de Promotores Inmobiliarios de la Provincia de Alicante ... donde también se recogen datos de toda la Comunidad Valenciana, donde un 78% de las pernoctaciones del turismo extranjero es de segunda residencia. ... el interés por comprar se ha incrementado. ... No han sido pocos los clientes que han apoderado desde sus países de origen a un abogado español para escriturar la vivienda a su nombre o se han servido de las plataformas digitales que los constructores les han facilitado.
