Several beaches have also been closed to swimmers including the Calalga, Borumbot y Arenal in Calpe with waves predicted to reach almost two metres in height. Part of Les Deveses beach has also been washed away as waves battered the Denia coast.

Footage shows people rushing to move their cars out of flooded roads in Javea.

An estimated 160 litres per square metre fell in Javea in just a few hours and 130 in Denia.

The heavy rainfall destroyed some residents walls in Javea.
