SEVILLE, Spain (Reuters) - Waiters in face masks served coffees and "bocadillo" sandwiches at cafe terraces in Seville on Monday as parts of Spain eased restrictions amid a slowing coronavirus epidemic that saw the number of new fatalities drop to a near two-month low.

"I'm very happy, I really wanted to work. We've been shut for two months now," Marta Contreras, a waitress in central Seville, said, smiling from behind her mask.
