Historia de Barcelona

Torrential rains hit the industrial center of Barcelona yesterday [report published November 5], spilling the new waters into areas still recovering from last September’s savage floods.

Officials said damage was heavy in Barcelona and the nearby towns of Tarrasa and Sabadell. The rains continued late last night.

No casualties were reported.

Swirling waters flooding some low-lying areas destroyed temporary railway bridges in Moncada and Las Arenas that were erected after the original bridges were washed out in September.
