Many British people choose to spend a few Autumn weeks in the Spanish sun rather than stay in UK as the big freeze begins. Often elderly people take an extended Winter vacation. For one couple their two week vacation proved disastrous.
An, as yet unnamed, British couple aged in their seventies were washed away during a flash flood in Spain.
An, as yet unnamed, British couple aged in their seventies were washed away during a flash flood in Spain.
As they sat outside of a street cafe they were hit by a huge wall of water. Such was the speed of the water that they stood little chance. The incident happened in Finestrat on the Costa Blanca, Spain.
The water appears to have raced through a ravine and into the marketplace where the couple sat. It caused damage to cars and market stalls, killing the British couple. Their bodies were found trapped under a trailer.
Finestrat is close to Benidorm when many British people take vacations. The BBC has reproted that, "the town's council was fined 83,000 euros by the local hydrographic authority for paving the ravine bed without permission last July" They were also advised against holding the weekly market where the incident happened.
RIP and condolences
