The rain in Spain...

The early autumn rains started on Sunday afternoon up here,  gentle drizzle at first then more heavy rain over night but not 'road washing away' rain.  Lots of thunder on Monday plus more heavy drizzle/showers and then late on Monday night there was a lightning storm.

But rain rushes downhill,  into the rivers and 'ramblas' which are road width gullies built round the outside of towns to cope with the  flood water,  sometimes it rushes into the towns and villages and causes problems.

I'm posting this as a link from the local paper as  it contains photos and video footage of the rain going through Malaga and Adra.  It's easier than trying to cut and paste YouTube footage!  

And some photos, but not of rain!

Sunrise shining on the hill,  moon setting

Same hill,  4 days later,  showers and a rainbow.

Today, after the rain,  clear blue sky but a thin cloud below the Contraviesa.
