In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, governments across Europe continue to close land borders, limiting the movement of individuals and transportation. Limited International commercial flights remain available at the airports in Madrid and Barcelona. U.S. citizens are urged to work directly with their airlines, by phone, online, or app, to arrange flights should they wish to depart Spain.

On March 14, the Spanish government implemented a State of Alarm and issued a countrywide Royal Decree, valid for 15 days, that severely limits all movement and most commercial activity in effort to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
