Costa Del Sol Flooding Clear Up Begins

Local councils are now facing the huge task of clearing up following the enormous floods and dramatic hail storms on the Costa Del Sol last week. Repair bills are expected to cost millions of euros.

Many people were left stranded in Campanillas due to flooding.

Hail Stones And Flooding

Weather warnings were issued last week, as rain and winds began to batter the Costa Del Sol. Later in the week, the weather worsened as Storm Gloria’s effects were felt in Andalucia. Hail stones caused road blockages and damaged buildings, as flooding affected many inland areas and parts of Malaga city.

Dozens of people were trapped in Cartama after a river burst it’s banks, and the main A7053 road from Alhaurin to Fuengirola was blocked by the huge hail stones.
