– The fire is out of control and the weather conditions make the work of the firefighters particularly difficult, Commander David Barona of the military emergency unit told the Spanish news channel 24H.
Due to the prolonged drought experienced by Spain over the past three years with below average rainfall, the risk of severe forest fires has increased in the country.
Some 493 fires destroyed 307,000 hectares of land in Europe last year, according to the European Forest Fire Information System.
