RAGING TORRENTS



By now I was hoping that I would have posted reports on several excursions and events in our area but the wettest winter in Andalucia in living memory has virtually marooned us.

The Rio Milanos in front of our house, which we have to ford to get anywhere, has turned from a trickling stream into a raging torrent. Most days it has been passable only with a 4x4 and somedays, like today, totally impassable. Nevertheless, we have been busy with the building work on our new house see www.countryhouseinspain.wordpress.com.

This morning, In nearby Huétor Tájar, the Rio Genil burst its bank and the bridge connecting the town with the motorway was closed. Here are some dramatic pictures of the scene.
