Brits travelling to Spain have been warned of the increased risk of wildfires in the country as a heatwave sweeps across Europe. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has updated its guidance for Spain on Monday (July 18) due to 'exceptionally high' temperatures.
Access to tourist areas such as natural parks and nature reserves may be closed off or limited and the FCDO advises travellers to follow any instructions from local authorities. Wildfires have already raged across several parts of the country, including in Zamora and Catalonia.
The FCDO said: "Temperatures regularly reach over 40C in Spain during the summer months. These temperatures bring an increased risk of forest fires.
