Weekend Plans on Hold: Extreme Weather Warnings Issued for the Costa Blanca

The beautiful Costa Blanca, normally a beacon of Mediterranean sun, is expecting an exceptionally challenging forecast this weekend, necessitating the cancellation of our regular weekend roundup. Severe weather warnings are currently in effect, with forecasts predicting heavy rainstorms and potential flooding throughout Alicante province.

Given the extreme conditions, public safety must be the top priority. Residents and visitors are strongly advised to cancel any unnecessary travel and outdoor activities and stay indoors as much as possible.
