The US Embassy has issued a travel disruption alert ahead of a 24-hour national general strike in Spain on Wednesday, November 11, organized by the country's largest unions, the UGT and CCOO, alongside other labor organizations. Public and private sector workers are being called to strike over rising housing costs, wages and working conditions, with demonstrations planned in major cities.
Flights, trains, local transport services and hospitality could face significant disruption, while protests could result in road closures and cancellations. Spain's national train operator, Renpa, has announced the reduction of minimum services, including 75% of trains traveling during peak hours and 50% outside of peak hours.
US authorities are advising travelers to confirm reservations, expect delays and avoid demonstrations.
