The southern Spanish region of Andalusia has borne the brunt of Storm Leonardo with regional authorities declaring a red alert after torrential rainfall triggered flooding and caused rivers to burst their banks.
Emergency services were placed on high alert across the region which is home to around 8.5 million people as heavy downpours inundated low-lying areas and forced road closures. Authorities urged residents to remain indoors and follow official guidance as the risk of further flooding persisted.
