Heartbreaking. We spent a long weekend here and fell in love with the place. Stayed at a hotel, Virgen del Mar (I think?) and spent some great hours at the Bar Pavana chatting with Layla and watching Sax Appeal. We are hoping to return again soon, is it recovering?

After an unusually wet winter the mountains are looking greener than we can ever remember them. There is a lot of low level grassy growth and masses of wild flowers are in bloom but the trees have not recovered much - that will take many years.

tendrian que morir quemados los hijos de puta que se dedican a destruir la naturaleza, cuando contaminemos la ultima gota de agua, talemos el ultimo arbol, cazemos el ultimo animal y matemos el ultimo pez nos daremos cuenta de que el dinero no se come.

Great video, really captures whole event. We were there at La Parata and it certainly seemed if many properties would be destroyed. A miracle no major damage was done and all credit has to go to Spanish authorities a brilliant job.

I was there and it was very scary. Amazing that no major damage was done despite extensive fires. The firefighters and army and volunteers did a great job.
