South-eastern Spain is currently enduring some major hurricane-like flooding due to massive rains in the Valencia, Malaga, and Murcia regions. It's quite sad, a number of people have died, and many towns have been totally inundated in what is being called "La Gota Fria" (the cold drop). Though it may not affect your travels, as this area is not very touristy, I do hope that one of our forum contributors, Nick, who lives in the Murcia region, is doing alright.
I have not seen much coverage in North American media over here in the States, so I thought I would share some images that are now coming out, of the aftermath of the floods:
