The general traffic forecast for the week beginning Monday, 3rd November 2025, suggests a highly variable traffic picture across the national road network in Spain.

While the beginning of the week is likely to see a continuation of increased traffic volumes due to the extended "puente" (long weekend) in several regions following All Saints' Day (Saturday, 1st November), the traffic is expected to normalise into a typical working week pattern from Tuesday onwards.

Key congestion points will be around major urban centres during morning and evening rush hours, particularly in Madrid and Barcelona, with additional regional delays anticipated in areas observing a non-school or local holiday on Monday.

Travellers should also be aware of a major international sporting event in Pamplona from Wednesday, which will likely affect road access to the city.

Strong winds and fog are causing travel delays across Europe this week, particularly in the UK and France.

Spain remains largely stable apart from morning fog around Palma and Valencia.

Minor airspace restrictions and military exercises may affect routes over the Bay of Biscay, but overall disruption remains low.

This week offers mixed driving weather across Spain.

Expect dry, safe conditions in the south and east, but be on guard for significant hazards, including morning fog and frost in inland and mountain regions, and rain in the northern coastal areas.

Safety advice focuses on adjusting speed for low visibility, doubling your braking distance on wet or icy roads, and taking frequent breaks to combat fatigue during longer weekend journeys.

Check your tyre pressure and condition before travelling, as they are your vehicle's most vital link to the road surface.
