The famous Costa del Sol including the tourist resorts of Marbella and Estepona has faced the brunt of the extreme weather phenomenon known as a DANA, a cold drop which was the cause of the catastrophic flash floods which killed more than 200 people in and around the east coast city of Valencia alone.

The weather situation in Spain is becoming increasingly challenging. A tornado was observed in Marbella, located in the southern part of the country, and other cities are experiencing floods. The government agency has issued alerts to residents.

Just two weeks after flash floods killed over 200 people, several areas in Spain have been placed on high alert over torrential rain and risk of flooding.
