Priority actions

1Avoid planned demonstration routes on 14–15 Feb; expect bus route changes and street closures in central Madrid (Paseo del Prado, Gran Vía, Plaza de España, Tirso de Molina).
2Expect rail delays on Madrid–Barcelona services due to wind-blown debris; check Renfe/Adif updates before travel and allow extra time for connections.
3Prepare for wet weather and moderate winds: pack rain gear, allow extra travel time, and anticipate slippery sidewalks and longer transfers.
4If attending large events (e.g., Atlético match at Metropolitano), allow extra time for entry/exit, follow stadium security directions, and avoid lingering in very dense crowds.

What's happening now

Feb 13: Planned demonstration will cause retentions and itinerary modifications for ~10 EMT lines in Paseo del Prado / Centro between ~11:30–14:00, affecting central routes and potentially increasing surface-transport delays.
Feb 13: Multiple demonstrations scheduled on 15 Feb with route changes and delays affecting lines in Tirso de Molina, Paseo de Extremadura and Calle de Camarena (times vary between ~10:15–16:00). Expect local street closures and bus diversions.
Feb 13: High-speed Madrid–Barcelona service operated with delays after plastics and other debris were found on the catenary between L'Arboç and Vilafranca del Penedès due to strong winds; Adif mobilized staff and some Rodalies segments were temporarily interrupted.
Feb 13: Residential fire in Xàbia (Alicante) resulted in two fatalities, seven injured and approximately forty people evacuated; emergency services (firefighters and medical units) remain engaged and investigations are ongoing.
