In August alone, the fire burned 340,000 hectares in Spain, according to the Copernicus service
According to the data, 2025 would be the worst fire year in Spain, exceeding even the rough year of 2022, when nearly 200,000 hectares were burned until August.
Since the beginning of the year, the Copernicus service has estimated that more than 375,000 hectares have already been burned in the Spanish state, and in August alone, 340,000 hectares. To give you an idea, it would be to burn the whole of Gipuzkoa and more than half of Álava in just over two weeks.
Although these are still provisional data, if confirmed, 2025 would be the worst fire year of the 21st century, surpassing even 2022, when more than 200,000 hectares were burned until August.
In terms of data, on 29 July there were 41,903 hectares of burnt land, but from 7 July the number has risen to 47,302, so the number has increased dramatically in recent days to 382,607, with some 340,000 hectares burned in just over two weeks.
Sara Aagesen , Third Vice-President and Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge, has stated that, according to data available, 138,000 hectares were burned by 10 August, but has admitted that the data will get worse.
The wave of fires affecting Galicia, Castile and Leon and Extremadura has caused mass evacuations, left at least four dead and displaced air and human resources as never before.
