Under Spain’s state of alarm which was declared on October 25th, regional authorities have the power to impose their own set of restrictions within their territory to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

This means that the rules and regulations differ across Spain with some regions closing their borders and others restricting movement between towns and cities.

Here’s the current situation in each region (As of Friday November 13th):

Madrid

Authorities in the Community of Madrid have refused to impose a perimetral confinement restricting people going in and out of the region as a whole except over the two November puentes (long weekends) to stop the usual exodus of people leaving for the public holidays.

But they have imposed localized perimeter confinements in certain healthcare zones within the region.
