Government travel bosses have issued a warning for British tourists travelling to Spain.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office updated their travel advice yesterday [November 10] to warn travellers of ongoing strike action in Spain.
The Government has warned that a national strike will take place across the country on Wednesday November 11.
The nationwide protest, which is the first to take place in Spain for 14 years, is to protest rising housing prices, rent prices, and the rising cost of living.
The strike action is expected to affect public transport systems and travellers are being urged to monitor local news and check with their travel provider for the latest information.
A spokesperson for The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said: "A national strike is planned for November 11 which is expected to affect transport systems.
"Check with your travel provider for the latest information."
The FCDO is urging travellers who find themselves in an area where a demonstration is taking place to 'be aware' and 'move away if there are signs of disorder'.
A spokesperson for the FCDO said: "Demonstrations, political gatherings or marches can take place with little or no warning, particularly in cities.
"Follow the advice of police and local authorities. While most demonstrations are peaceful, there's a risk of unrest or violence.
"If you are near areas where demonstrations are taking place, be aware of what is happening around you and move away if there are signs of disorder."
The travel disruption comes in the aftermath of a train crash in Spain last month, which resulted in significant disruption to rail services.
The disaster saw a high-speed train collide with another in the Spanish province of Toledo on October 28, killing at least 68 people.
British nationals who were affected by the accident themselves, or who had a family member affected, are still being urged to contact the nearest British embassy or consulate on +34 91 714 6300 if they need consular support.
