Holidaymakers are being warned as large parts of Spain have flooded after stormy conditions.
Storms, including a tornado and torrential rain, has been battering parts of central and southern parts of Spain.
Valencia, Murcia and eastern Andalucia, which takes in most of the popular tourist hotspot the Costa Blanca, were among those hit, reports the MEN.
Floods swept away cars and debris with the army joining the police and the fire service aiding in the rescue operations as they take toll of the damage, which could top 200 million euros.
The authorities say a total of six people have been killed across the country.
They include a a 41-year-old man in the town of Orihuela on Saturday, where the river Segura overflowed its banks and a 58-year-old man was swept away by rushing waters when he got out of his vehicle in Redovan on Friday.
Meanwhile more than 3,500 people, including many British ex-patriots, are reported to have lost their homes.
Roads and tunnels have been submerged in water and some airports were temporarily closed.
The worst of the weather is now said to have passed, returning to hot and sunny conditions in most places.
However parts of the Costa Blanca remain in ruin, with roads blocked, and the rescue and clean-up operation remains in full swing.
Nicola Cross, 41, from Wythenshawe moved to Orihuela Costa with husband Mike, 46, from Denton, and daughter Holly, now 12, in 2012.
She said: "It's just been absolutely awful. We have known some torrential rain but nothing like this.
"We have been very lucky as our home hasn't been affected but in areas just ten minutes away it's been total devastation.
"We know one family who are still trapped upstairs in their villa waiting to be rescued.
"There the situation is definitely still crticial.
"One of our friends in Almoradi has also had his home completely washed away.
"Roads are impassable, farmers are desperately trying to get their livestock out of fields.
"The emergency services have been great they are out there doing all they can and the army are helping as well."
What's the latest advice for travellers?
The Foreign Office (FCO) issued a warning to British travellers last week which said there was an "extreme risk" to those visiting the affected areas.
That advice has now been downgraded but they told the M.E.N today: "The extreme weather alert issued by Spain’s meteorological office (AEMET) has now been lifted.
"Damage caused by flash flooding continues to affect some areas in the south of the Alicante and Murcia regions, causing some disruption to local transport and secondary road closures.
"If you are in these areas you should follow the advice of the local authorities."
