Severe Flooding Hits Cadaqués, Spain, Sweeps Away Dozens of Vehicles

Heavy rains triggered severe flash flooding in Cadaqués, a town in the Girona region of northeastern Spain, early Friday. Torrential waters swept around 30 cars down streets and under a bridge, according to local reports. Emergency responders confirmed no casualties, and no one was reported trapped or injured in the incident.

Videos shared by local journalists captured dramatic scenes as powerful torrents surged through streets, piling vehicles atop one another. The flooding follows last week’s devastating storms in Valencia, which claimed over 200 lives, sparking public outrage over the lack of timely emergency alerts from authorities.

The Catalonian meteorological agency has warned of more intense rainfall overnight, with forecasts predicting rain rates of over 20 mm within half an hour in Alt Emporda, where Cadaqués is situated. Spain’s weather agency, Aemet, reported that rainfall in early November was 72% above average, with climate change cited as a factor intensifying the recent deluges across the country.
