Not outside Spain.

You can only work in Spain, but can travel within the EU Member states freely,except Ireland and United Kingdom.

And also travel to the EFTA States!

You can only work in Spain, but can travel within the EU Member states freely,except Ireland and United Kingdom.

So, travel only is okay within the Schengen/EFTA area but what about return travel into another member state from outside the Schengen area? Can a Spanish EEA residence permit holder fly from Morocco to France?
