Flooding in CadaquĆ©s in the early hours of Friday morning caused around 30 vehicles to pile up under a bridge, Catalonia’s fire service said on X. No one was injured or trapped, the emergency responders added.
More potentially dangerous weather is expected in the region overnight.
Catalonia’s meteorological service issued a rain warning from Friday evening until Saturday afternoon for the area of Alt Emporda, where CadaquĆ©s is located. The weather agency warned rain intensity could exceed 20 mm (0.7 inches) in 30 minutes.
The agency recorded 76.8 mm (3 inches) of rain in CadaquƩs on 7 and 8 November, with more than 100 mm (4 inches) logged in two other towns nearby.
Spain received 72% more rainfall from 1 October to 5 November than the normal value for that time period, according to Aemet, Spain’s weather agency.
The rainfall, which experts said was intensified by climate change, led to flash floods that trapped people in their cars.
