The tenth anniversary of the Mad Cool festival will take place at the Iberdrola music space in Madrid, Spain, from July 8-11. The four-day event will run daily from 5:00 PM to 2:00 AM and is expected to attract around 200,000 attendees. Via Lateral de Servico M-45 and Avenida Real de Pinto will likely experience traffic congestion due to the festival. With the event having prominent artists such as Halsey, Twenty-One Pilots, and Foo Fighters, it is likely that heightened security will be implemented.

Significant wildfires continue to affect Northern Spain amid extreme heat and dry conditions, with more than 123,553 acres burned nationwide. Active fires include the La Bisbal d’Empordà wildfire in Girona, where strong tramontana winds hamper containment efforts, while fires in Zaragoza, Fontcoberta, and Navarre are subdued. Authorities warn that elevated wildfire risk could lead to additional outbreaks and localized transportation or access disruptions through July.

Renfe rail staff are scheduled to conduct 24-hour national strikes across Spain on June 29 and July 15. The strike has been called by Sindicato Ferroviario over concerns regarding the future of Renfe Mercancías, the state owned freight railroad. The strikes are expected to affect rail services nationwide, including cancellations and delays, affecting both passenger and freight operations.

El Encierro, or the Running of the Bulls, takes place daily at 8:00 AM from July 7-14 during the San Fermín Festival. Despite the cultural significance, the event is widely regarded as highly dangerous. Participants can face serious risks, including trampling, goring, falls, and collisions in narrow, fast-moving streets where reaction time is extremely limited. The event is expected to draw heavy crowds, disrupt local travel, and prompt an increased security presence.
