As the wildfire season approaches, UK tourists are being warned about the dangers of traveling to Spain, where Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has launched the country's largest-ever campaign against forest fires. Last summer, Spain faced unprecedented wildfires, with nearly 4,000 square kilometers of land scorched, marking a record high according to the European Forest Fire Information System. Sánchez emphasized the need for a unified national approach to combat climate emergencies, stating, "Fire does not distinguish between administrations." The Foreign Office has cautioned travelers to remain vigilant, especially in woodland areas during the peak wildfire months of July and August. Furthermore, climate change has exacerbated wildfire risks not only in Spain but also in Greece, Cyprus, and Turkey, where conditions have become ten times more likely to lead to fires. In July 2025, these countries experienced devastating wildfires fueled by extreme heat, drought, and strong winds, prompting concerns of similar events in the future as summer approaches across the European Union.
