Hailstorm hits Vélez-Málaga

The centre of Vélez-Málaga was brought to a standstill between 14:00 and 14:15 on Thursday by a tremendous hailstorm and downpour.

Torre del Mar and Algarrobo also experienced hailstorms nut of lesser intensity.

Although the damage in the city was not severe and much of the hail was washed away by the heavy rains, there are fears for the crops in the local fields. Olive and avocado harvests are currently in full swing and last week the area was also hit by strong winds.
