The third confirmed victim in Pedralba has been named as 44-year-old Francisco Quesada, whose body was found by his wife five days after the disaster struck amid debris in his own home.

“We, his family and friends, found the body of my husband,” Ruth Rodríguez told the news agency EFE.

The provisional death count from flooding across Spain has reached 217, with 213 of the victims found in the province of Valencia.

Authorities in Castilla-La Mancha confirmed on Sunday that the body of a 70-year-old woman from the flood-hit village of Letur had been found seven miles from her home in the Segura river.

The centre of Letur suffered extreme damage after the local river, a tributary of the Segura, burst its banks. Four other residents of the village remain missing.
