Catalonia faces the consequences of an extraordinary temporary that has left torrential rains of more than 200 litres per square metre in some areas, causing floods, damage to housing and business.

The province of Girona, border to France, now concentrates the greatest concern, with risk notices and calls on the population to remain safe in their homes.
