- On Sunday, December 28, the Guardia Civil and organised volunteers intensified the search in Alhaurín el Grande for two local men in their 50s after their van was found 1.6 kilometres downstream.
- AEMET's red alert came after over 134 litres per square metre fell, causing flooding and river overflows across the Guadalhorce Valley and Costa del Sol with challenging high river flows and muddy terrain.
- Divers, canine units and Civil Protection personnel are joined by drones and helicopters aiding ground teams from La Campiüela to La Pagaora, with around 100 volunteers involved.
