The number of confirmed cases has been declining in almost all regions of Spain.
The only two regions where cases are rising are the Balearic and Canary islands.

The government started publishing the positive rate of tests a while ago – that’s very good and I wish all countries would do that.
But as you see the positive rate is still fairly high in many regions so that the true number of cases is likely quite a bit higher.

This is the number of confirmed cases in the whole of Spain and the positive rate in the entire country – both are coming down which suggests that this decline of cases is real and not just due to worsening testing.

But still important to be cautious – several European countries saw a decline of cases in November and are now seeing cases flatlining or rising.
And in the Spanish data a similar very recent change might already be visible for Madrid, Cataluña, or Navarra.
