Opinion on Spain is divided, though not dramatically: ratings run from level 1 to level 2. Five of the eleven take the stricter view, and the remaining six see no cause for it. A one-level split of this kind usually reflects differing thresholds between governments rather than a dispute about the facts.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Spain on file, last revised in December 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Spain are not uniform across the country. One distinct area is singled out by at least one government. Among them: Ceuta. At least one government advises against non-essential travel to a specific area while taking a softer line on the country overall.
Your own government's rating is the one your insurer and embassy will act on, so read that source first — the one level of daylight between the strictest and most relaxed assessments here is context, not a substitute for it.
