On Thursday afternoon, the driver of a white van struck a group of pedestrians in the iconic Las Ramblas street in central Barcelona, killing 13 people and injuring over 100.
The second vehicle attack, in which six people were injured and a woman later died in hospital, took place in the early hours of Friday in Cambrils.
The Cambrils terrorist suspects were killed during a standoff, with police saying they were wearing fake suicide vests and had an ax and knives in their vehicle.
Three Moroccans and one Spaniard have been detained in relation to the Catalonia assaults, with law enforcement officials saying they were preparing a bigger attack.
