Andalusia

Fans of the Royal Society are on their way to Andalusia to follow on the spot the final of the Copa del Rey against Atlético de Madrid. More than 26,000 realists will be at the Cartuja stadium itself and thousands of other people will travel without tickets.

On Saturday morning (02:10) a special train will depart from San Sebastian to arrive at the Cartuja station in Seville at 10:40. The return train will leave the capital of Guipuzcoana after the end of the match between Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad.

From the airport of Vitoria, seven flights will depart to Andalusia, six to Seville and one to Jerez, while from the airports of Bilbao, San Sebastián and Pamplona, two flights will depart to Seville.

The progressive parties have reached an agreement to join the Por Andalucía coalition, together with the Initiative del Pueblo Andaluz, Alternativa Republicana, Partido Verde and Alianza Verde.

President Juanma Moreno has brought the elections forward by one month, as the legislature was scheduled to end in June.

The Royal Society has qualified for the King's Cup Final and will face Atlético on April 18 in Seville. The fans are now facing a big challenge, finding a way to go there to help the team  and find a place to sleep, if possible without emptying their pockets, because although the illusion will probably help them in their search, it does not, for the time being, pay for it.

The deceased was admitted to the Vall d'Hebron hospital.

Many residents have been out of their homes for days, and there are still 3,500 people in sports halls or hotels.

Setenil is one of the most visited villages in Cadiz, part of the route of the white villages. The mayor of Setenil has asked tourist companies not to organize guided tours.

On the Guadalquivir River, off Cordoba, it is evident that the situation has improved. In the morning, the flow has decreased slightly, after reaching a height of six metres at midnight.

The president of Andalusia, Juanma Moreno, has warned that a hundred other residents of Ubrique (Cadiz) could be evicted in the next few hours because of land movements.

The Junta de Andalucía has recorded more than 350 serious incidents in the road network of the Autonomous Community in recent days, which has forced the closure of a large number of roads due to the Leonardo depression. The arrival of the storm Marta could worsen the situation.

Heavy rains are expected again this Saturday, with 11,000 people evicted and a hundred roads cut.

They warn that with the new Marta depression scheduled for the weekend, "the worst is yet to come."

It will rain less than in previous days, but the Aemet has issued a yellow warning for rain in Cadiz, Jaén, Seville and Malaga. Nearby, mid-distance and high-speed train services in Andalusia are also suspended. 

A summary, in two words, of what will be news in the Present today.

As a result of the heavy rains of the last few hours, 700 litres of water per square metre have accumulated in Grazalema (Cadiz). In this video taken from the air by the Civil Guard, you can see an entire village surrounded by waterfalls. The authorities have ordered the village to be evicted — about 1,500 citizens — as a precaution for possible flood damage. 

The blurring of Leonardo continues to hit Andalusia, and according to weather forecasts, the unstable atmosphere will continue over the weekend. Indeed, in many homes in Grazalema, the water has come out of the plugs.
