Major wildfires in Spain right now
The Niebla fire has stopped advancing, but eleven roads were cut in Huelva and Sevilla at the last count
The fire to know about is in Huelva. It was declared on Thursday 6 August at the Raboconejo site near Niebla, and the Junta de Andalucía raised it to operational level 2 of the INFOCA plan, the level that says ordinary resources are not enough and that brought in the army's emergency unit. It was still at level 2 this morning, with most of the perimeter now without an active front and the remaining work concentrated on the eastern sector. On 14 August it passed the Riotinto fire to become the most destructive on Andalusia's records, and the regional government said on 15 August that it had gone a whole night without advancing for the first time. The list moves with the fire, so check the DGT map on the day.
People are going home in batches. Overnight into 15 August, 114 residents were allowed back into four scattered settlements of Zalamea la Real: El Pozuelo, El Membrillo Alto, Las Delgadas and Montesorromero. That follows 60 who went back the day before. Eleven localities across the two provinces have been caught up in this, Niebla, Zalamea la Real, Berrocal, La Palma del Condado and Valverde del Camino among them.
The Andalusian coast and the road to the Algarve are not the fire zone. This is inland country north of the A-49, and the closures above are the practical problem for anyone driving in that corner of Huelva or western Sevilla province.

Ávila & Sierra Oeste (west of Madrid)
Rural Sierra Oeste and Ávila, around the San Juan reservoir and A-5 approaches
Madrid works normally, but avoid non-essential travel west of the capital — recreation routes around the San Juan reservoir and rural Sierra Oeste/Ávila roads. Some communities can return and others cannot; verify your exact route.

Castellón (Serra d'Espadà)
Serra d'Espadà natural park, inland from the Castellón coast between Onda and the Palancia valley
The Costa del Azahar coast (Castellón, Benicàssim, Peñíscola) is not the fire zone, but smoke can reach the coast when the wind turns. Do not drive into the Serra d'Espadà park area; follow 112 Comunitat Valenciana.
