Brits heading on Spain holidays have been issued a warning by the government over potential unrest and violence.
The UK Foreign Office has updated its advice to people travelling to the EU country following a series of street demonstrations.
On Friday (October 28), the government department added a new alert to anyone visiting the EU country.
Last week, people took to the streets in Madrid to protest the worsening cost of living crisis which is making getting by tougher in Spain.
Thousands pf protesters demanded that the government help provide increased wages and pensions in line with inflation, which hit 8.9% in September.
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.
Rail services were also disrupted.
The El Prat airport has previously been targeted by pro-independence protesters after separatist leaders were imprisoned for attempting to launch a referendum on the topic.
In its updated advice the Foreign Office warns: "Demonstrations, political gatherings, or marches may take place in Spain with little or no warning, particularly in cities. You should follow the advice of police and local authorities.
"While the vast majority of demonstrations are peaceful, there is a risk of isolated incidents of unrest or violence.
"If you’re in and around areas where demonstrations are taking place, remain vigilant and move away quickly if there are signs of disorder."
Street protests are not the only potential issue facing people heading to Spain on holiday.
Over the summer airports across the country were impacted by industrial action as Ryanair and easyJet workers went on strike over pay and conditions.
One thing Brits no longer need to worry about quite so much when travelling to Spain are coronavirus restrictions.
Earlier this month, travel rules for Spain were eased as the industry tries to get back to some form of normal following a number of Covid lockdowns.
As of October 21, UK arrivals are no longer required to show proof of being fully vaccinated, of a negative Covid test or proof that you've recovered from Covid within the last six months.
There is also no longer a need to complete a health control form prior to travel
The UK government advises: "You should follow the advice of the local authorities on how best to protect yourself and others, including any measures that they bring in to control the virus."
Face masks must still be worn on any form of public transport in Spain, and when visiting a medical setting or care home.
