On Thursday, July 30, 2026, Spanish authorities downgraded the severity level of major wildfires in the central regions of Madrid and Ávila from three to two. With the fires now stabilized, the reduction marks the end of the national emergency status that had been declared the previous week due to the high intensity and rapid spread of the blazes.

Meanwhile, a significant immigration event unfolded at the border with Ceuta. Hundreds of migrants entered the Spanish autonomous city on foot via the border breakwater, while thousands of young Morrocan individuals headed toward the border area with the intention of crossing the fence. Local authorities, including official Vivas, responded to the developments as the situation at the border evolved throughout the afternoon.
