Two weeks after flash floods killed hundreds of people, this time Malaga saw streets turned into rivers of fast flowing waters, with banks, shopping centres and hospitals becoming flooded

Although the fresh rains appear to have brought limited damage, in the Malaga province, homes were “decimated” by flooding after a river burst its banks on Wednesday in the town of Benamargosa, as around 3,000 people living along the Guadalhorce River and reportedly a further 1,100 near the Vélez River were evacuated.

The UK Foreign Office has updated its Spanish travel advice as the country endures flooding and weather warnings.
