Alarms were raised on the Costa del Sol on Sunday following reports of an ‘explosion’.

Firefighters rushed to the source of the smoke to discover a mobile caravan engulfed in flames.

The 112 emergency service first received a call at around 7.30am.

Witnesses told operators that a motorhome parked in the McDonald’s parking lot near El Paraiso, Estepona, was ablaze.

Firefighter and police rushed to the scene and the Infoca service was alerted due to the vehicle’s proximity to forest areas.
