Police evacuated a church in Cordoba on Thursday afternoon after a suspicious backpack was reported inside, sparking a bomb squad operation.
The alert centred on the parish of Nuestra Señora de la Consolacion, on Calle Historiador Dozy, near Arroyo del Moro.
Policia Nacional officers, supported by local police, cordoned off a wide area around the church while TEDAX bomb disposal specialists examined the bag.
No dangerous material was found, and police confirmed it was a false alarm, according to El Dia de Cordoba.
The incident comes amid a wave of alerts involving suspicious backpacks and suitcases across Spain over the past 48 hours.
Bomb disposal officers have been deployed in Madrid, Guadarrama, Sevilla and Las Palmas, with further alerts reported in Marbella, Arganda, Galapagar and Zaragoza.
None of those incidents resulted in explosives being found.
In Sevilla, an abandoned suitcase near the cathedral forced police to close part of Avenida de la Constitucion on Thursday morning.
Separately, a backpack containing explosives killed a Policia Nacional officer in Oviedo on Tuesday, according to the report.
