Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Spain, particularly in popular tourist spots like Retiro Park in Madrid. The warm climate and abundance of water sources make it an ideal breeding ground for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but also pose a threat to public health as they can transmit various diseases.


Year round mosquito forecast

In Spain, the most common mosquito-borne diseases are West Nile virus, Dengue fever, and Chikungunya. These diseases are typically spread by the Aedes mosquito species, which is prevalent in the country. While the risk of contracting these diseases is relatively low, it is still important to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, especially during peak mosquito season.

Retiro Park, being a popular outdoor destination in Madrid, can attract large crowds of people who are at risk of mosquito bites. Visitors are advised to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and avoid being outdoors during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. It is also advisable to remove any standing water around the park to reduce mosquito breeding grounds.
