Holy smoke! Barcelona basilica burned Threatened by some of the worst forest fires raging in southern Europe, more Spaniards have been forced to leave their homes. While the northeast of the country has been hit hardest by the wiildfires over recent days, some 1,500 people had to flee after a blaze broke out last night in the southern region of Andalusia.
