This week in Spain sees two significant holidays: Labour Day on May 1st (Thursday), a national holiday, and the day of the dos de Mayo (Friday), a holiday in Madrid commemorating the 1808 uprising against French occupation. These consecutive holidays will likely create a long weekend, leading to increased traffic around travel hotspots. While Monday, May 5th is the Mexican holiday Cinco de Mayo, it might see some celebrations among South Americans in Spain. Looking at the weather for the week starting April 28th, Spain anticipates settled and warmer conditions, generally favourable for driving. While the north might see occasional showers, the central and southern regions, including the Mediterranean coast, are expected to be mostly sunny and warm. Drivers should be mindful of potential tyre pressure changes due to rising temperatures and strong sunshine, as well as the impact of seasonal allergies.
