Spain is open for tourism and currently functions as a normal leisure destination, not a crisis destination. Travelers should expect ordinary European-city risks plus terrorism precautions, petty crime, occasional protests, weather disruptions, and some transport delays or strikes. International arrivals are growing, and Spain remains a prominent destination on current-year travel lists.
