Catalonia ski slopes open amid fierce EU debate

Description

Ski resorts in Spain's Catalonia region that borders France have reopened as a European debate rages over whether such sites should operate during the coronavirus pandemic. In theory, only residents of Catalonia will be able to access the resorts given that the region is partially closed off to people from other parts of Spain although checks are sporadic.
