Torrential rain caused severe flooding in eastern Spain last week. Valencia, Malaga and its surrounding towns experienced extreme damage after a year’s worth of rain fell in just eight hours in some places. The death toll currently stands at 217 people, but with thousands still missing, that’s likely to continue to rise.

As the Foreign Office has not warned against non-essential travel to Spain, there will be no special circumstances in place to be able to cancel a trip for a full refund. The conditions for cancelling your trip will be dependent on your holiday provider, so it’s best to contact them if you’re looking to postpone.
