Deferring the TRs is common practise on a lot of a/c types for whatever period of time (10 days in this case). Some types can still use the other one (thus asymetrical), some canīt.
(Dry) landing distances are always calculated without the use of TRs and factored by 1,67 for commercial operation. So the abscence of the TRs doesnīt necessarily pose a significant risk, especially in hot and dry Spain on long runways.
And remember that there are lots of a/c out there that come without TRs in the first place.
