Hi Mal. It seems it was literally luck of the draw. The diverted river did indeed save the city centre. We got home yesterday via bus. It took a winding route through the paddy fields area. That area seems to have been ok ish as it’s designed for water. The A7 will remain closed for weeks. The people of Valencia, especially the young are out in there thousands with brooms and buckets, and the farmers are all there with tractors and diggers. Many places don’t have water and internet. The city itself is business as usual. It’s good your friends have checked. Find out about power and water before you go if you can. Today, Monday, I’ll begin the ballache of cars , clothes, tools etc, but it’s not lost on me how devastating this is for Spain. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
