Storm Filomena hits the country
Filomena has been sweeping the country since the day before yesterday with snowfalls throughout Spain and especially in the southern part, where snow is quite exceptional, as in the image in the area of the Don Quijote mills in La Mancha. And it's not over yet: the worst is expected to come and it will continue to snow continuously until tomorrow night. It is supposed to be the heaviest snowfall in history in Madrid and Castilla La Mancha. On the Costa del Sol and the Costa de la Luz there is no snow, but it has been raining continuously since Wednesday night and it does not look like it will stop until tomorrow.
