@dailymailuk: The UK Government has updated its travel advice for France and Spain as devastating wildfires continue to spread across parts of both countries. In France, the Foreign Office says fires are affecting Gironde and Landes in the south-west, where campsites, tourist accommodation and residential areas have been evacuated. Roads can close at short notice, while travellers are being told to check with accommodation and transport providers before setting off. In Spain, a national emergency has been declared over wildfires in parts of Madrid and Ávila, with further fires reported across inland regions. British travellers in affected areas should follow local emergency instructions, monitor official updates and call 112 if they need urgent help. The warnings come as huge fires threaten the Bordeaux region and continue across Madrid, Toledo, Ávila and Castellón. Hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists have been evacuated across France and Spain, with authorities racing to contain the flames before temperatures rise again. Scientists warn that climate change is making extreme heat and wildfire conditions more frequent and intense across southern Europe. The Foreign Office has not issued a blanket warning against travelling to either country, but holidaymakers should check the latest official guidance before departure. #francewildfires #travel #breakingnews
