Streets of Sitges Submerged: Flash Flooding Hits Spanish Coastal Town
SITGES, SPAIN – Heavy rainfall has led to significant flash flooding in the coastal town of Sitges, Spain, transforming its streets into rapidly flowing waterways. Videos circulating online show muddy water surging through urban areas, with the current strong enough to carry debris. One such video, uploaded by user Sojeffrey, captures the dramatic scene as brown water inundates a street lined with buildings. A plastic chair is seen being swept away by the powerful current, illustrating the intensity of the flood. Residents are observed cautiously navigating the submerged roads, some from elevated positions, while others wade through the high water levels. The unexpected deluge has disrupted daily life in the popular tourist destination, with cars partially submerged and pedestrian access severely limited. Local authorities are assessing the damage and advising residents to exercise extreme caution and avoid flooded areas. The extent of the damage and the full impact on infrastructure are yet to be determined as the town grapples with the aftermath of the sudden downpour.
