According to preliminary data from the General Traffic Directorate, the Easter holiday period of twenty twenty-five has seen twenty-two fatalities on Spanish roads. Between Friday, the eleventh of April, and Sunday, the twentieth, there were a total of twenty-one fatal accidents recorded, a significant concern given the increased traffic with over nine million journeys across the country. The most tragic day occurred on Sunday, the thirteenth of April, with seven fatalities reported.

Despite a decrease from last year, which saw twenty-seven fatalities, authorities warn that every life lost represents a shattered family. Officials appeal to motorists for caution, responsibility, and strict adherence to traffic regulations. One significant incident involved a reckless driver colliding with six vehicles in Girona, resulting in the death of a sixty-one-year-old man and critical injuries to two others.

With Monday marking a public holiday in regions such as Valencia, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Navarra, and La Rioja, a significant influx of traffic is expected as people return from their holidays. Heavy congestion is already reported on major routes, especially the AP-7 in Valencia and points in Catalonia.

Transport authorities have also reported an anticipated surge in air travel, with over six thousand flights forecasted for Easter Monday. The busiest airports include Madrid-Barajas, Barcelona-El Prat, and Palma de Mallorca. Meanwhile, Renfe has increased rail services to accommodate high demand, with additional seats on popular routes. Overall, travel continues with normal operations, although some disruptions have been noted due to scheduled maintenance.
