SPAIN has been hit by fresh floods with dramatic footage showing mounds of destroyed cars piled high in an overflowing river.
The images are eerily similar to those out of Valencia where more than 200 people died after torrential rains and storms struck the still-grieving nation.
Agonising scenes saw roads turned into rivers and torrents of debris-filled mud sweeping away cars, people, animals and buildings.
On Friday morning another raging flood swept through the centre of Cadaques, a town in Girona, in the northeastern region of Catalan.
Residents woke up to the fresh destruction with local mayor Pia Serinyana confirming over 30 cars had been washed away by flooding.
A nearby river had burst its banks, just as many had some 10 days ago in and around Valencia.

Many cars ended up piled on top of each other in front of the town casino.
There were no human casualties reported, although one local resident expressed their fears in a post on X writing: "The situation is very serious in Cadaques.
"Dozens of cars have been swept away by the swollen stream in the town, blocking up the bridge.
"It’s been many years since something like this happened in Cadaques."

Another said: "If this raging torrent of water had come through town during the day I’m sure we would have been looking at mass casualties.
"The time of night this happened saved us from a certain tragedy."
Catalan weather agency Meteocat published footage of the latest in the early hours of this morning.
It said: "This is how the Cadaques stream goes down after the intense and continuous rain this morning, where there is likely to have been more than 100mm of rainfall."
The town’s mayor confirmed early this morning no-one had been injured or killed and only material damage had occurred.
He said the number of cars swept downstream had reached 32, adding: "We had an alert from the Operations Coordination Centre of Catalonia but people parked their cars and the water swept them away."
The heaviest rainfall occurred between 2am and 3am.
Cadaques is just over 300 miles north of Valencia, where more than 200 people including two Brits lost their lives in flash floods late last month and 78 people are still missing.
It marked Spain's worst natural disaster in memory prompting the King and Queen to visit devastated areas themselves in an effort to boost morale and talk to survivors.
