It mentions on the BBC about not being able to travel between regions

 

[IanRJ]

This from a Spanish Newspaper, but those more local suggest each Autonomous Area will make their own decisions regarding entry / transit of the various provinces. Hope it stays clear for your travels:

The Spanish government has declared a new state of alarm, which comes into effect immediately. The cabinet met on Sunday morning to approve a measure that will be more limited in its scope than the state of alarm that was declared in March and then lifted in June.

The new measure is not a return to the conditions of confinement (lockdown) that applied in March. But confinement is a feature in that a nighttime curfew will be applied, except in the Canary Islands, where epidemiological data are more positive than elsewhere in the country. A majority of Spain's regions (seventeen plus the two north African autonomous cities) had asked for the legal means to be able to implement such a curfew ahead of Sunday's cabinet meeting.

As well as the curfew, the decree will restrict mobility in that movement between regions will be prohibited except for justifiable reasons. This will be subject to regional decisions; there can be complete closure of regional borders or partial.

The decree passed on Sunday will be in force for fifteen days and will then have to get Congress backing in order that the state of alarm can run until May 9 (longer than was previously reported). The government is seeking to avoid the situation that existed in the spring when it had to return to Congress every fortnight and gain approval for extensions to the previous state of alarm. In this regard, the government wants to follow the lead of France and Italy, where similar mechanisms apply for several months at a time. The conditions of the state of alarm will, however, be reviewed by the government every fortnight.

The main reason for the state of alarm is to be able to introduce a night curfew and also for hard hit regions such as Madrid to be able to prevent unnecessary travel between regions. https://english.elpais.com/society/...with-plans-to-keep-it-in-place-until-may.html

According to N332 you will be allowed to travel up to Santander and Bilbao to return home and enter through those ports to get to your HOUSE in Spain but not for HOLIDAYS.Thats what the Police site says but I cannot see it being implemented.If it is there will be some seriously pissed off travellers.BUSBY.

Spain have passed the law so local authorities can react to Covid quickly so as to avoid a countrywide lockdown.BUSBY.
