Foreign Office travel advice can be read here. They have updated it since the bombing. They may well update again so best to keep checking if you are concerned.

From what I can decipher out of the TVE broadcasts I think they aim to reopen the airport by 10pm CET

Reports of a second package are being reported too

This is awful news. Condolences to the families of those killed.
I also heard on this evening's news that 2 flights on route from the Uk had to turn around and fly back to Gatwick.

Deepest sympathies to the families involved. 4 people from our village were to have flown to Palma to join a cruise ship today, but I think they were flying from Cardiff. What a start to a holiday

Looked at photos today. It was right outside the big post office area where there is a few shops next to private apartment.

Didn't look at the date - just the topic and held my breath because I thought it had happened again.
Such a tragedy.
