With so many Britons flocking to Spain each summer for some respite and a few sun, it’s that they’re aware of the acute heat and risk of wildfire.
Official website GOV.UK told Britons what they need to learn about forest fires in Spain.
It said: “Forest fires occur continuously in Spain (including Spanish islands) throughout the summer months, when temperatures usually reach over 40ºC.
“There are strict regulations across much of Spain against lighting outdoor barbecues in forest areas and penalties imposed include heavy fines.
“Some regions prohibit the use of outside barbecues in public picnic areas throughout the summer months.”
While there was no official guidance against travelling to the country, Britons must remain vigilant.
Forest fires will often occur in the summertime months so the present blazes have arrived sooner than usual.
Gov.uk concluded: “Check on the outbreak of fires with the local civil protection authority and report any you see immediately to the emergency services on 112.”
