22:10 (October 10) – Heavy rains have brought flooding to large parts of the Costa Blanca on Monday, October 10.

Following a hot and dry summer the rains have returned to the Costa Blanca and with a vengeance. Heavy rainfalls have caused flooding across large parts of the region damaging farms, businesses and homes.
