Although the fresh rains appeared to have brought limited damage, in the Malaga province, some homes were decimated by flooding after a river burst its banks in the town of Benamargosa. Some 3,000 people living along the Guadalhorce River were forced to flee their homes as well as a further 1,100 near the Vélez River.

Spaniards braced for further heavy rain and storms on Wednesday (November 13), just two weeks after rain and flash floods prompted rivers to overflow in Valencia and other parts of Spain, killing more than 200 people and destroying homes and property.
