SPAIN has been hit by widespread travel chaos as the country faces its first general strike in 14 years.

Striking workers have blocked access roads to Madrid, Valencia and Barcelona this Wednesday, causing major traffic jams.

The pickets have also cut off entrances to Barcelona’s Sants train station and vital infrastructure, including the Port of Algeciras in Andalucia.

Air and rail passengers face severe disruption, with minimum services guaranteed at just 18% to 85% for flights, and 50% to 75% for trains.
