"Spain's climate attracts many holiday home owners, but severe weather can occasionally cause disruption. Heavy storms and flash flooding can occur with little warning, sometimes overwhelming local drainage systems. Keeping gutters and drains clear and maintaining your roof can help reduce the risk of damage."
