Three small earthquakes rumbled Granada province on Monday morning, with the strongest felt in the city itself.
The National Geographic Institute (IGN) recorded the tremors in Vegas del Genil, Ogijares and Dilar. Smaller tremors had already been recorded in Ogijares and Dilar on Sunday.
The first quake struck Vegas del Genil at 1.34am, with a magnitude of 1.5 and a depth of 11km.
The strongest followed at 4.17am in Ogijares. The magnitude 1.7 quake also struck at a depth of around 11km and reached intensity III in Granada city.
It was felt less strongly in Armilla, La Zubia and Ogijares, where it reached intensity II.
A third tremor, of magnitude 0.5, was recorded in Dilar at 7.48am, at a depth of 8km.
The tremors come a day before a planned earthquake drill involving around 200 people across Granada province.
The Junta de Andalucia’s emergency agency will simulate earthquakes of magnitude 4.2 and 6 to test how crews respond and coordinate across three sites.
The exercise will take place in central Santa Fe, at a business in Atarfe and at the Rules reservoir in Velez de Benaudalla.
People in Santa Fe are due to receive an ES-Alert message on their mobile phones at 10.07am on Tuesday, November 10.
The agency says anyone who receives the test alert should read it. No further action is required.
