Spain launches final summer traffic operation with 6.88 million trips expected

Spain is initiating its final major summer traffic operation, known as 'Operación Retorno,' from Friday, August 28, at 15:00 until midnight on Monday, August 31. The Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) anticipates approximately 6.88 million long-distance trips across the country during this four-day period. This surge in mobility is expected to coincide with both the return of August vacationers and the departure of those beginning their holidays in September.

Regional forecasts indicate significant movement: Andalusia expects over 1.5 million trips, Castilla-La Mancha anticipates 1.12 million, and the Valencian Community expects 908,160. To manage the increased volume and ensure safety, the DGT is deploying advanced technology, including Pegasus helicopters, drones, cameras, and undercover vehicles.

In the rail sector, Renfe has mobilized more than 1.1 million seats to accommodate travelers, with over 426,000 seats dedicated to high-speed and long-distance services. Authorities have issued warnings regarding potential congestion at major road junctions and have implemented specific restrictions for heavy vehicles in certain regions to maintain traffic flow.
