    Dramatic footage posted on social media website X shows the moment a deluge of muddy flood water inundates Íllora, while onlookers film the carnage from a distance.

    Raging torrents surrounded properties as they surged past brick buildings, leaving many cars at a standstill.

    The downpour triggered a yellow weather alert, which followed evacuations after the town was left saturated.

    The Sun are reporting emergency services responded to 15 separate weather related calls in Íllora alone.

    More than 10 homes and garages were left flooded as water gushed throughout Granada.

    One onlooker told the Spanish Eye ‘It only lasted 20 minutes, but it was terrifying’.

    The local newspaper is reporting the town was hit with up to 60 litres of rain in under an hour.

    The destruction left by Storm Alice is the latest to batter Spain’s eastern coast and islands for more than two weeks, leaving popular British holiday spots completely inundated.
