That strong burning odour is not from a fire near Torrevieja. It is not even from the Vega Baja region. Its origin is hundreds of km north. Serious forest fires have destroyed thousands of hectares in the region of Tarragona. At least, it is what the Torrevieja Emergency Department has acknowledged to the Provincial Fire Consortium.
According to the same sources, the easterly wind that raged along the Torrevieja shoreline on Tuesday helped spread the smoke cloud from the devastating forest fires ravaging the province of Tarragona. The scenario was confirmed by municipal social media.
This cloud generated by the fires has also coincided with some instability and easterly winds, resulting in an apocalyptic scenario with the sun’s orange light obscured by clouds and the powerful smell of burning wood.
