The U.S. Department of State’s latest advisory urges travelers to exercise increased caution in Spain due to the continuing threat of terrorism and periodic civil unrest. Although Spain is generally safe, terrorist groups are reportedly still plotting potential attacks, which could occur with little warning. Crowded public spaces, tourist sites, transportation hubs, and high-profile events are possible targets. Demonstrations on political or economic issues are common and can disrupt transit or create tense situations, especially around major holidays or international events.
A significant event in recent weeks was a wide-reaching power outage at the end of April that affected transit, hospitals, and general public services across Spain, as well as neighboring France and Portugal. Such disruptions highlight the occasional infrastructure vulnerabilities that visitors might encounter during their travels.
Entry into Spain is straightforward for most travelers in 2025, with all Covid-19 restrictions lifted. No health documents or related paperwork are required, and no health checks are performed upon arrival. However, standard entry requirements remain, including proof of sufficient funds. For example, travelers must show they have at least €118 per person per day of their planned stay, with a higher minimum sum if staying longer than nine days, according to official Spanish consular information.
Travelers should also be aware of Spain’s stricter rules to manage overtourism and public behavior. The Spanish government has expanded bans on public drinking this year, prohibiting alcohol consumption on streets, beaches, and parks. Fines for violations can reach up to €3,000, and there are increased restrictions on alcohol sales in nightlife areas. These measures are intended to preserve public order and respond to resident concerns about the impact of excessive tourism on daily life.
According to Spain-Traveller.com, violent crime remains very low and Spain is still considered one of the safest countries in Europe for visitors. However, petty crime such as pickpocketing is a common issue in major cities and around crowded attractions. Travelers are advised to use common sense precautions: don’t carry valuables in easily accessible pockets, remain alert in crowded places and on public transportation, and avoid looking outwardly like a tourist to minimize risk.
In summary, anyone planning a visit to Spain in 2025 can expect a vibrant, welcoming country, but should be prepared for large crowds, occasional civil unrest, and stricter rules around public behavior. Caution is advised in busy tourist zones, and travelers should monitor official advisories for any updates on safety or local disruptions.
