A feared red alert for extreme rain in Almeria has been extended from inland valleys to parts of the coast.
State weather agency Aemet warned of 120mm of rain per square metre until at least 6am on Monday.
The municipalities under the most serious of alerts include Mojacar, a coastal town hugely popular with British expats and tourists.
Also encompassed by the warning are Carboneras and Nijar, plus the inland valleys of Almanzora and Los Velez, which were already on the highest warning throughout Sunday.
The Almeria provincial government said in an update at 11pm that multiple roads had been cut off in Cuevas del Almanzora, including the AL-8104, AL-8105 and AL-8106.
The AL-9105 road in Giviley, Huercal-Overa, was also closed due to flooding.
Videos shared online showed biblical scenes in San Juan de Los Terreros (Pulpi), as thunder, strong winds and hail combined to deliver ferocious conditions.
The neighbouring region of Murica also witnessed dramatic scenes, including rockfalls and rapidly rising waterways.
