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.
