According to the report, the 24-hour strike is linked to protests over the housing crisis and cost of living. An official Spanish government publication in the BOE also confirms that unions called a general strike for November 11 and that minimum services were established in essential sectors.
The protest may affect trains, public transport, flights and businesses. This is not notice that every flight has been canceled or all transport across Spain will stop; each booking should be checked with the airline or service operator.
The report concerns an event planned for Wednesday, rather than a shutdown already happening today. The final extent of disruption remains unknown.
