Overview
- The DGT forecasts about 5.7 million road trips over the long weekend and reported no fatal crashes in the first hours.
- Congestion persists on key exits from major cities, with accidents and closures complicating travel on routes such as the A-45 near Antequera and the A-92 at Huétor Tájar.

- Rail disruptions continue on Rodalies R3 between La Garriga and Puigcerdà due to a traffic-regulation systems issue, while R2 experienced delays earlier before service was reported restored.
- Local incidents worsened bottlenecks, including a northbound closure on the C-16 at Berga and hold-ups on the C-58 after a truck fire near Sant Quirze del Vallès.
