The area where most rain fell was between Coin and Fuente de Piedra, with 10.4 litres per square metre and Ronda, with 10.1. Malaga had less rain with only 3.2l litres per square metre.

Colombian traffickers arrested

MALAGA Provincial Court has sentenced a Colombian couple to six years in prison and a 10,000-euro fine for selling cocaine.
