Overview
- A main shock measured about 4.7–4.8 with an epicenter near Gójar/Alhendín on Tuesday morning and was followed by numerous aftershocks, several above magnitude 4, officials and the national seismic agency reported.
- Emergency services logged more than 500 calls to 112 and made about a dozen medical assists, and authorities reported three people with light injuries including a child taken to hospital.
- Municipal technicians ordered preventive evacuations in Las Gabias that affected roughly 600 people from six blocks while local teams inspect buildings for structural safety.
- The Patronato closed the Palacios Nazaríes and the Alcazaba of the Alhambra for inspection after crews found mostly localized non‑structural damage such as fallen cornices and detached decorative plaster.
- Seismologists link the activity to active faults in the Granada basin driven by African–Eurasian convergence and warn the sequence is unpredictable, a situation that could prolong tourism disruption, rehousing needs and building evaluations.
