Three people have died in strong winds, heavy snowfall and low temperatures from Storm Gloria’s sweep across Spain.
With more than 30 provinces on bad weather alert, Valencia on the Mediterranean coast and the Balearic Islands were bearing the brunt of the storm on Monday.
The storm also forced the closure of Alicante airport, leading to the cancellation of nearly 200 flights.
National weather agency Aemet reported winds of up to 115 km per hour and eight-metre high waves in the province of Valencia.
At least 120 councils there decided to suspend school and hundreds of kilometres of roads were cut off.
