The New Normal
The New Normal
It’s quite curious to see people doing what they used to do before COVID broke out. It could be that the so called new normal was already here though I don’t think so. The number of COVID cases has shrunk so much that the government has eased every protective measure except for masks indoors which will stop being compulsory from Monday on. Many experts thought that it was too soon and it would be better let Easter pass by.
This will be the first Easter holyday without almost any protective measure in two years. Over the last few weekends, I have already seen the number of tourist, both Spaniards and foreigners, increases greatly. I like that. It was very sad to see the city completely empty. people always complaint about the city centre being crowded but I think that seeing the city empty is much worse. Tourism means money flowing which in turn is one of main sources of income of the country. By walking the streets of my neighbourhood yesterday, I could see that many people had already left the city. It was almost like reviving the lockdown we lived through two years ago. What strikes me the most is that people are travelling regardless of the war in Ukraine, the soaring fuel and electricity prices, the high cost of living due to the transport strike and many other things. But we Spaniards are like this. We love going out and spending a while having a drink or a meal in a terrace whilst talking with friends or just living in the moment.
That’s why so many foreign tourists come to visit Spain.
You will never find a place in the world where you can taste a better food than in Spain. The weather is amazing. The people are awesome, and beer is cheaper than in any other European country. Although if what you prefer is visiting cultural places, you’ll find extraordinary art galleries in addition to old and monumental cities. What else can you ask for?

Your sentence was fine, but the comma makes the meaning clearer.
The number of COVID cases has shrunk so much that the government has eased every protective measure except for wearing masks indoors, which will stop being compulsory from Monday onwards.

Your original sentence was not incorrect, but the "Although" felt a little unnatural to me.
A note about the end of this sentence -
old and monumental cities = There are old cities, and also there are monumental cities.
old, monumental cities = There are cities with are both old and monumental.
What else can you ask for?

This was really good.
It may look like I've made quite a lot of corrections, but they are mostly just to make things sound more natural. :)

It’s quite curious to see people doing what they used to do before COVID broke out.
It could be that the so called new normal wais already here, though I don’t think so.
The meaning here is a little unclear. If you are trying to say that the new normal is currently happening because people are doing things they used to do then you need to use (is) instead of (was). The sentence needs a comma to seperate the two ideas of this sentence
The number of COVID cases has shrunk so much that the government has eased every protective measure except for wearing masks indoors, which will stop being compulsory from Monday onwards.
on could be used in this sentence, however, to match the tone of the rest of the text I would say onwards
Many experts thought that it was too soon and it would be better to let Easter pass byfirst.
This will be the first Easter holyiday without almost any minimal protective measure in two years.
minimal is a clearer way to say (without almost any)
Over the lpast few weekends, I have already seen the number of tourists, both Spaniards and foreigners, increases greatly.
I like that.
It was very sad to see the city completely empty.
people always complainted about the city centre being crowded, but I think that seeing the city empty is much worse.
complained is the past tense of complain
Tourism means moneycash flowing, which in turn is one of main sources of income ofor the country.
cash flow means the money moving in and out of businesses.
ByWhile walking the streets of my neighbourhood yesterday, I could see that many people had already left the city.
While makes more sense here.
It was almost like revliving the lockdown we lived through two years ago.
reliving makes more sense in this context, reliving gives a sense that something is happening again to you

Although if whatIf you prefer is visiting cultural places, you’ll find extraordinary art galleries in addition to old anand old monumental cities.
Although is not necessary in this sentence.
You do not need to have and between old and monumental, in this sentence I read old as the adjective and monumental cities as the noun, so it is unecessary to put and between the two adjectives - it just sounds more natural
What elsmore can you ask for?
What you have written is techincally correct, however this sounds more natural

Really amazing work here. The main thing for you to work on is definitely your use of commas. Commas are really tricky and lots of people who are fluent in English don't even know how to use them properly. If you increase your accuracy when using them it'll make your writing clearer and will look super impressive. Great stuff!
