Heavy rains that have affected eastern Spain over the past two days have caused flooding and significant material damage.

A 102-year-old woman died after her home was flooded in the Madrigueras district of Albacete province. According to local authorities and the gendarmerie, the water inside the house reached a depth of approximately one metre.

Meanwhile, 90 people who were stranded in the area as a result of the floods were rescued.

The heavy rains mainly affected the regions of Valencia, Catalonia and Castilla-La Mancha. In some areas, rainfall reached up to 200 litres per square metre.

Madrigueras, in Albacete province, was among the areas worst affected by the flooding. The floods also caused major disruptions to traffic.
