Local authorities in the Los Gallardos area of Almeria have warned that the death toll could rise further.
This summer, several European countries—especially France, Portugal, and Spain—have experienced severe wildfires due to extreme heat waves, with temperatures reaching around 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).
Due to extremely high temperatures, dry ground, and strong winds, the Los Gallardos wildfire spread rapidly on Thursday afternoon.
