Spain under water: storms create chaos
Houses, streets and campsites are under water: in parts of the Spanish mainland, people are struggling with the effects of violent storms. In Mallorca, on the other hand, it was more glamorous than feared.
Where other holidaymakers lie on the beach, roads stand under water. Cars sink into brown floods, ravening streams turn into streams. Spain's Mediterranean coast is in a state of emergency after torrential rains.
Heavy rains followed by floods have hit the eastern part of the country since Sunday 18 October. The episode, which also affects the southern part of France, is expected to continue until Tuesday.
Eastern Spain has been hit by exceptionally heavy downpours, causing widespread flooding and significant damage. In some places, more than 700 millimeters of rain fell in just 24 hours. The high water swept away cars, flooded homes and destroyed infrastructure. The extreme weather has claimed at least one life.
