At Barajas Airport in Madrid, there are reports of operational generators still in use, with power supply gradually returning. Only slight delays are noted for a small number of flights.
The only cancellations recorded today are flights to Brussels, but these are due to the strike in Belgium and unrelated to the power supply issue affecting Spain and Portugal.
Train services in Spain are not yet fully operational and are far from it. The Spanish national railway company Renfe updates that operations in the capital Madrid have resumed at about 50% of regular service levels.

The good news is from the metro sector, where almost 100% of the lines are operational again. Only line L7A remains down; besides this, all other metro lines in Madrid have returned to full operation.
Meanwhile, rumors and various reports in the Spanish media about the causes of the power outage have begun to emerge, with some already suggesting a planned cyber attack. However, these claims have no significant basis as of now, and investigations by police and government authorities in Spain into the event's causes are still ongoing.
