Sanlúcar de Barrameda recovers from flooding on Monday

Today the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in Cádiz is spending the day cleaning up after heavy rains flooded streets, commercial buildings and the lower levels of some housing units yesterday. About 40 litres of water per square meter fell in just half an hour.

24 hours after the downpour, Sanlúcar continues cleaning up to try and return to normal. The shops are taking the biggest hit from the flooding. Many goods have become useless and the gift campaign for Three Kings Day will be seriously affected. 40 litres of water per square meter managed to fall in just half an hour. The good news is that, this Tuesday, there is no longer a weather alert.
