Spain floods latest: Number of people killed rises to at least 205; former Valencia footballer among the dead

In Carlet, the clean-up is happening in earnest.

The Magro river barreled past the town on Tuesday, sending water cascading into the nearby streets.

The force of the water was so strong that it buckled the bridge, bending some of its concrete pillars like they were twigs.

Sections of pavement at both ends have disappeared, washed away in the floods.

This morning when teams of volunteers arrived, the main road next to the river was still flooded.

But after hours of hard graft with pumps and brooms they managed to start to clear it.

It’s a similar scene across the town as diggers and forklifts drag away debris.

Despite the hammer blow this community has been dealt, it is determined to get rebuilding.
