As a result, heavy rainfall has led to severe floods in parts of Spain. In the city of Talavera de la Reina in the center of Spain, an old Roman bridge was partially washed away on Sunday evening on Sunday evening. In ten of the 19 regions, the alarm level Geel and Oranje was held on Sunday.
Heavy rain, violent wind and strong waves have been chased large parts of Spain for weeks. The persistent storm led to extreme floods, which brought an old bridge to the Spanish city of Talavera de la Reina. The dismay of the partial destruction of the historic bridge is great: “This is a terrible day in the history of Talavera,” said the mayor of the city, José Julián Gregorio, in the online service X.
Bridge Bogen partially broken away
The bridge over the Tajo River was built in the 15th century on a structure from the time of ancient Rome. Recordings show that different bridge arches have collapsed. Talavera is approximately 120 kilometers southwest of the Spanish capital Madrid.
Mayor José Julián Gregorio expressed relief about the damage to the historic bridge:
The storm “Martinho”, which wiped Spain at the weekend, was the fourth within three weeks. A man and a woman died in the last storm “Laurence”. According to the authorities in the province of Sevilla, the car of the pair was demolished of the water mass and discovered empty on Tuesday morning.
Rain when the snow melted at the same time
In many places, Spanish cities threaten floods due to the rains and the simultaneous snow melt. Moreover, there are various water reservoirs that had to let the water flow because of the risk of flooding.
The Spanish city of Avila, famous for its fort plants, was partly under water during the weekend. According to the mayor of Jesús Manuel Sánchez Cabrera, the city and the state of emergency of the city were about a hundred kilometers before the capital Madrid. Photos broadcast on television showed that various districts and agricultural areas around the city were flooded.
The floods were activated by the River Adaja, which was kicked over the bank. The authorities feared that melting of snow in the surrounding mountains would make the floods worse. “A large amount of snow was built up on the peaks,” the mayor warned.
