The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly… in Playa Blanca?

The Town centre was hit hard… and the traffic police came out in their waterproofs and white wellies, to organise the traffic through the High Street. The storm drains really were a sight to behold, as the water gushed through to the sea.
Rumour has it that another big storm is on its way - we’ll just batten down the hatches and wait and see… … …
