Strong winds kept members of the Fuengirola fire brigade busy.

They wrestled with this corrugated iron roof in a crowded parking lot near to the Fuengirola feria ground, the viscously flapping and potentially lethally sharp edged rusted metal structure was eventually brought under control and then cut away by the firemen.

Elsewhere in the town trees blew down blocking pavements and scooters where dashed to the ground as the wind knocked them over like bowling pins.
