Spain
Problem: Protests are continuing across Spain ahead of the upcoming elections, including scheduled demonstrations on October 31 and others that are spontaneous.
Why it matters: The demonstrations are causing major road closures, traffic restrictions, and transit delays.
Advice: Stay away from large crowds and heavy police presence, check the DGT website for live road closures, allow extra travel time, and be ready to change plans on short notice.

Official safety information for U.S. citizens
Exercise increased caution due to terrorism and unrest. Terrorist groups continue plotting attacks with little or no warning, targeting tourist locations, transportation centers, markets, hotels, restaurants, places of worship, and major events. Reconsider travel to Ceuta (Level 3) — the massive uncontrolled arrival of migrants from Morocco has created unpredictable and dangerous security situations, with Spanish military, National Police, and Guardia Civil deployed.
- Reconsider travel to Ceuta due to the ongoing migrant surge and active security force deployments.
- Avoid all demonstrations and crowds throughout Spain.
- Stay alert in tourist locations, airports, train stations, markets, and places of worship.
