Turre, Spain: Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez on Monday visited the scene of one of Spain’s deadliest wildfires in recent history, which has claimed 13 lives and razed a huge area.
The wildfire that broke out on Thursday has transformed picturesque rural settlements into ghost towns and left a trail of destruction in Almeria province, home to many foreign residents near the Mediterranean coast.
About 7,000 hectares (17,300 acres) of forest and scrub land has been scorched.
