Tuesday afternoon (December 5th) until midnight on Sunday (December 10th), the Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) will be upping police presence on Spanish roads in view of the 6.7 million car journeys expected to be undertaken by people across the country over this week's Constitución and Inmaculada holidays.
According to the DGT, the largest volume of road traffic is expected early on Tuesday afternoon, especially on the exit roads from Spain's major cities towards mountain and coastal areas, as well as large volumes of traffic travelling to local leisure and shopping centres.
Most of the returning traffic is expected on Saturday afternoon and Sunday, with long tailbacks predicted on roads leading out of mountain and coastal areas in the afternoon and evening, and on the roads into the main cities. People travelling back on Sunday are advised to set off in the morning.
