A bomb squad has swooped on Barcelona Airport after a car smashed into a terminal.

Two men were "shouting Islamist slogans" before they were arrested, police said.

The vehicle smashed into the airport's Terminal 1 this morning.

There were no explosives found in the car.

Police have reported no injuries and say they are not ruling out any motives for the collision at this stage.

Both men in the car are Albanian, according to regional police chief Eduard Sallent.

It is know for its stunning architecture, warm weather and beach.

But this week Spain shut its borders in a desperate bid to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

Many British tourists have been urged to travel home, while many others were prevented from travelling out there.

The Foreign Office's guidelines for Spain read: "Spain declared a State of Emergency (“Estado de Alarma”) on 14 March, which introduces a series of measures including significant restrictions on movement throughout the country in response to the coronavirus outbreak.

"We expect the Spanish government to order that hotels and short-stay accommodation (such as short-stay campsites or caravan parks) must close in the coming days.

"We do not expect these measures to apply to long-term accommodation. British travellers who are currently in Spain and who wish to return to the UK are advised to make travel plans to do so as soon as possible. For more information, see Health.
