The Easter holiday return operation has caused traffic problems in Gipuzkoa, with the A-15 experiencing four kilometers of retentions in Berastegi, heading towards San Sebastián, due to a high volume of vehicles.

The conclusion of the Easter holiday period has led to traffic complications on Gipuzkoa's roads, particularly on the A-15. According to the Department of Security, significant traffic jams began to form in the vicinity of Berastegi, in the direction of San Sebastián, from mid-afternoon.
The influx of vehicles was especially notable on April 6, around 5:50 PM, when traffic density increased considerably. This resulted in the initial queues in the area, which by 6:35 PM had stretched to between three and four kilometers in length.
Authorities advise drivers to exercise extreme caution when traveling on this road, given the current traffic conditions. These circulation issues are a common occurrence during the Easter holiday return operation, as thousands of people make their way back home.
