A tornado has left a trail of destruction after tearing through parts of the Costa del Sol in the early hours of Tuesday.
The freak weather event tore down Christmas decorations, street furniture and trees, and forced the closure of several roads.
The extreme weather hit La Cala de Mijas, where winds of up to 130 kilometres per hour wrought havoc along the main boulevard and dragged boats onto the shore.
Elsewhere in the municipality, the storm caused widespread disruption, with urban furniture damaged, trees uprooted and large branches snapped by the force of the wind.
Municipal workers have been on the ground since the early hours, assessing the damage and beginning repair work.
Several roads were temporarily closed due to storm damage, including Avenida Andalucía, where a fallen streetlight blocked the river crossing.
The Costa del Sol was battered by fierce winds overnight as Storm Emilia continued to be felt across southern Spain.
Footaged shared online showed the moment the series of Christmas lights were brought down by gales in La Cala de Mijas.
In Calle Miguel Bueno, Fuengirola, a tree was filmed seemingly snapping in half amid the extreme weather.
A yellow weather alert had been issued on Monday night, warning of strong gusts of wind and heavy rainfall across Malaga’s coast and Guadalhorce Valley.
The warnings were deactivated on Tuesday morning, and there are currently no weather alerts in place for the whole of Andalucia.
