"Unfortunately, there are dead people inside some vehicles," said Spain's Transport Minister Óscar Puente, highlighting the scale of tragedy from the floods.
"Our priority is to find the victims and the missing so we can help end the suffering of their families," said Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, emphasizing the ongoing search efforts.
Spain's Mediterranean coast is used to autumn storms, but this was the most powerful flash flood event in recent memory, linking it to climate change.
Rushing water turned narrow streets into death traps, and the floods demolished bridges and left roads unrecognizable, leaving a trail of destruction.
