Severe weather alerts have been issued and thousands were evacuated as a powerful storm brought a month’s worth of rain to parts of Spain just weeks after deadly flash floods hit the country.
Malaga was hit first by the storm, with flooded hospitals forced to limit services and around 4,000 people in the region evacuated on Wednesday. Residents in Benamargosa described homes being “decimated” after the river running through the town’s centre burst its banks.
