From the air

This is not the first time that the River Segura has flooded. There are videos on the Internet of the flooding in 1987 and the flooded streets in Orihuela from April 1946. Thankfully, yesterday was mostly dry and the weather from now until Christmas promises to be more normal i.e. dry and sunny.
