Spain travel warning as heavy rain causes flooding in popular holiday hotspots

Holidaymakers heading to Spain have been warned of potential travel disruption after parts of the country were hit with flash floods.

A number of popular holiday destinations have been hit by heavy rainfall in recent days, leading Spain's national weather agency AEMET to issue yellow weather warnings across several areas. The south-east region of Murcia has seen the most severe impact from the extreme weather, where the rainfall has seen some streets turn into rivers with cars submerged and buildings flooded.

Among the regions placed under the yellow weather warning on Tuesday, May 30 for rainfall and storms were Andalusia, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, encompassing tourist hotspots like Malaga, Barcelona, Palma and Ibiza. The Community of Madrid, which includes the country's capital, and the Murcia region were given a more severe amber risk on Tuesday, The Mirror reports.
