Spain's Holiday Islands on Alert Over Potential Plague Outbreak
# Spain Holiday Islands Face Rising Plague Threat
## Authorities Alert Tourists as Situation Develops
The holiday islands of Spain, particularly Lanzarote in the Canary Islands, are on high alert due to an increasing threat of plague. This warning comes as officials and health experts monitor the situation closely, especially given the influx of tourists to the area.
On November 22, 2025, reports indicated that officials were particularly concerned about the impact of this threat on the approximately two million yearly visitors to these island paradises. The picturesque settings, including sandy beaches and scenic views, typically attract many holidaymakers, but the ongoing health risks are causing worry.
Specifically, Francisco Fabelo, the head of the Environment of the Cabildo, highlighted the urgency of the situation. "The next two days are going to be key. If they are adult specimens that have arrived exhausted, they will die and nothing will happen. If we see copulations, that would mean that they are reproducing. We would have to see it between this afternoon and tomorrow," he said, emphasizing the critical nature of ongoing monitoring.
Health authorities are focusing on ensuring the safety of both residents and tourists while implementing preventive measures. The potential consequences of plague cases could affect public health and tourism, making swift and effective action crucial. The government is taking the situation seriously while providing updates to ensure the safety of those visiting and residing in the popular locales.
