An emergency military unit has been called in to fight a forest fire which has restarted in Ávila and which has so far affected more than 500 hectares of shrub and grass in the Sierra de Gredos.
The fire was declared to be under control, but strong winds in the area have started it up again. As many as 400 people are working in trying to put it out.
Despite the size of the fire no population centres are under threat from the flames. It started on Friday in Navalcruz and the Junta de Castilla y León has declared a level 2 emergency. The blaze can be seen from several kilometres away. It’s thought to have been started by negligence.
