Spain has been hit by a new flooding disaster as a torrential deluge has sent cars floating down the street in Girona.
Footage shows a raging torrent of water carrying away everything in its path including several vehicles as it swept through the centre of the Catalan town of Cadaques this morning.
Today residents woke up to a new scene of destruction, with mayor Pia Serinyana revealing a total of 32 cars had been washed away by the flood water caused by a nearby river overflowing.
Many ended up piled on top of each other by a bridge in front of the town casino, with at least one of the smashed-up vehicles appearing to belong to foreign tourists because of the number plates that were clearly visible.
This comes just over a week after another flooding disaster hit Spain, in particular the Valencia region, with more than 200 people confirmed to have died.
