Overview
- Regional emergency officials now confirm three fatalities between 28 and 29 December: two in a vehicle swept away in Álora, Málaga, and an 18-year-old in Íllora, Granada.
- Search operations continue for a missing man near Alhaurín el Grande after he was swept away while attempting to cross the Fahala area.
- Aemet has downgraded most alerts to yellow following the deluge, but forecasts indicate a new Atlantic storm could affect the region around the start of the year.
- Málaga’s Guadalhorce River overflowed, prompting troop deployments, evacuations and dozens of local rescues as authorities managed more than 400 weather-related incidents regionwide.
- Travel disruption has largely eased after more than 20 flights bound for Málaga were diverted on Saturday, and officials advise travelers to follow local guidance and Aemet updates.
