It wrote in the caption: ‘Fire of a vehicle on the Benahavis road, fortunately no injuries were reported.

‘Thanks to the quick intervention of the firefighters, there was only material damage.’

The Benahavis road connects the hillside town of the same name with Marbella and the coast below.

It is not yet known if the car the exploded was an electrical vehicle.

It comes after a car park in Madrid exploded this week when an electric car crashed into a row of parked cars.

The collision caused a spark and the car set on fire, before spreading the other vehicles, setting off a series of explosions.

Two firefighters lost their lives putting out in the inferno.
