They have all been accommodated at the sports centre in Villarcayo , where about 100 minors from Cantabria have also stayed, who will return home this Sunday after their stay.

In a statement, the Civil Guard has indicated that in the last few hours they have intervened in some areas of the Merindades regionto ensure the securityof the more than 400 people in the camps.  

Rainfall has deteriorated the terrainand hindered the mobility of vehicles in the area, so agents are mobilizing all the means necessary for safe movement.
