Foreign Office issues new guidance for Spain travellers following protests

The UK Foreign Office has updated its advice for people travelling to Spain.

On Friday (October 28), the Government department added a new alert for those heading to EU country, though it's unlikely to affect Brits in tourist resorts. The updated guidance is due to a number of demonstrations that have taken place in cities across Spain.

Last week, people took to the street in Madrid to protest against the worsening cost of living crisis, with thousands calling for increased wages and pensions in line with inflation. A separate pro-independence demonstration in Barcelona on Thursday saw activists block the city airport and major roads as government ministers arrived to meet Catalan officials, with rail services also being disrupted, the Liverpool Echo reports.
