The UK's Foreign Office has also issued a warning to travellers with more rain forecast to hit the flood-stricken country.

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 has been observed in Marbella, located in the southern part of the country. Other cities are experiencing flooding, and the government agency has alerted residents.
