Parts of Spain are at risk of devastating wildfires
Large parts of Spain are set to experience wildfires as land continues to be sunbaked and dehydrated.
The risk also extends to those travelling to these parts of Spain. One of the top firefighters in the Catalonia region, Asier Larranaga , says he is ready for the worst in the relentlessly hot months of July and August. "And for areas where it has not rained in May and this month, we could see these types of fires as early as next week."
Four people sadly lost their lives during the extreme temperatures, with wildfires consuming 306,000 hectares. And 12 months later, Spain is set to endure similar conditions, with 66,00 hectares already turning to ash this year.
