Travel recommendation

The Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommends the trip to Eritrea, a country that segregated from Ethiopia at the end of a long civil war,[2] except in cases of extreme necessity. Eritrea's very tense relations with Ethiopia pose a potential risk. In recent years, there have been episodes of military violence in Eritrean territory of unclear origin. All travelers must obtain prior permission if they wish to leave Asmara to move around the rest of the country. This restriction includes people who work in Eritrea.[3] The Spanish government considers border areas with Sudan and Ethiopia as risk zones.
