Holy Week 2026 brings one of the busiest travel periods in Spain, with major congestion expected on roads, full flights between the UK and Spain, and packed trains and ferries. Here’s what you need to know to travel safely and avoid delays.
At the end of March, the clocks move forward by one hour. While the change may seem minor, even small disruptions to sleep patterns can significantly affect concentration, reaction time, and driving performance.
Safe following distance is not fixed. As temperatures, road surfaces, and traffic patterns change in spring, drivers must adjust their spacing to maintain safe stopping margins.
The first rainfall after a long dry spell can be more dangerous than heavy, sustained rain. When water mixes with built-up oil and debris, grip is temporarily reduced — often without drivers realising it.
Many drivers focus on speed limits but overlook the physics behind them. Even small increases in speed dramatically reduce reaction time and increase stopping distance.
Father’s Day in Spain is a time to celebrate care, protection, and guidance. On the road, those same values are expressed through responsible driving and setting a safe example for the next generation.
