AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoWildfire Tragedy in Andalusia: A fast-moving wildfire near Los Gallardos and Bedar in Almería has killed at least 11 people and left 19 missing, with victims found in burnt-out vehicles after some tried to flee by car instead of following evacuation guidance; officials say four victims may be British and many others appear to be foreign nationals, while around 150 firefighters, troops, and aircraft battle the blaze amid near-40C heat and fears strong winds could worsen conditions. Heatwave Watch: Spain’s summer heat is easing in parts but orange alerts remain across multiple regions, and temperatures are still expected to hit 40–42C in some areas, keeping fire risk high. Fuel Costs: Petrol prices in Spain jumped about 5.6% after the VAT reduction ended, pushing drivers back to higher costs despite a smaller per-litre tax cut. Travel Safety: With the Foreign Office still saying travel is generally safe, authorities are urging holidaymakers to follow local wildfire updates and evacuation instructions in affected areas.
