While I was in Bratislava last week, my part of Spain was drenched in 
torrential rain and lashed by high winds. The areas south of Alicante, like 
Orihuela or Almorad?, are really badly affected, with heavy flooding and 
significant damage, similar to what you see in the aftermath of a hurricane. 
We live to the north of the city and due to the topography in our area, the 
rain basically just ran off into the sea; in some mountain villages there 
were flash floods but here on the coast there was just a bit of mess on the 
beach. I went for a walk on Saturday morning to have a look.

The beach promenade had been closed as a precaution. I have no idea to what 
extent the warnings had been followed. I can imagine that some windsurfers 
might have wanted to take advantage of the wind:

Certainly the wind rearranged the beach a bit. This is the access ramp for 
wheelchair users:

The wind was still blowing strongly, from the sea:

And there was some beach erosion:

So overall, we got off extremely easy here in El Campello. And the wind that 
was still blowing strongly on Saturday morning meant that when I took my 
bike ride inland later in the day, I had a nice strong tailwind while 
climbing the hills towards Aig?es?so no complaints here.

Cheers,
Nathan
