A cold front from the Atlantic is bringing snow across Spain from west to east. The snow is currently affecting the Valencia region as well as Castilla La Mancha, the Murcia region and Andalucia. The heaviest snow falls in Andalucia are forecast for Almeria, Jaen and Granada. Holiday makers wanting to enjoy the winter sun in Benidorm and the Costa Blanca are enjoying views of snow-clad mountains.
The authorities are asking people not to travel by car in the worst affected areas, and when doing so they are asked to use tyre chains and have a full tank of fuel and a mobile phone.
