The President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, this afternoon concluded his day in Andalusia to assess the situation in towns affected by the recent storms with a visit to Villanueva de la Reina (Jaén). This morning he visited Huétor Tájar, in Granada.

In Villanueva de la Reina, the head of the Executive met with its mayor, Blas Alvés, and with other mayors from towns in the area affected by the flooding of the Guadalquivir River. In this town, the river reached record levels, causing flooding in several public spaces, evacuations, and cutting off the main access road.
