Tourist hotspot hit by 'water explosion' after heavy rain

A popular Spanish tourist destination has been hit by a 'water explosion' and raging floods after the region was hit with the most rain it has seen in 70 years.

The rapidly flowing water erupted along the river after the region was hit with more than 400 liters per square meter of rain in the first six days of March.

Fast-flowing floods have turned Murcia's streets into rivers and forced road closures throughout the region. Officials have asked locals to avoid traveling.

The east, south and parts of the north of the country were given yellow and orange warnings for severe weather earlier this week that encompassed Murcia and several other tourists hotspots including Malaga, Valencia and Alicante.
