This doesn't look like a typical swarm it has already petered out so the profile wouldn't indicate an imminent eruption....

Looking more like a false alarm ...

A false alarm would be good news for those whose trip either to or from Spain is soon.

The Iceland eruption a few years ago disrupted air travel quite badly.
Flights were cancelled.
I was on the Camino at the time and many people were stuck in Santiago and Spain with cancelled flights.
