 Torrential rains on May 26 following a prolonged drought caused streets to turn into fast-flowing rivers in towns along Spain's Mediterranean coast. Fire services in Castellans said the worst affected areas were the towns of Benicasim, Orapazodelmar and Cabanes. They said they had carried out three rescues and provided pumping services on 27 occasions. Footage showed traffic and emergency response vehicles driving through inundated streets in the Valencian towns of Benicasim and Orapazodelmar. State Weather Agency EMET warned of accumulated rain of 12 cm over 12 hours on Friday in the province of Castellan in the Valencia region.
