Spain Gripped by Violent Wildfires

A tractor drives to the fire to help extinguish the fire on August 19, 2025, in Puerto de San Glorio, León, Castilla y León (Spain). Although the fires are under control, both the Government of Castilla y León and the Government of Cantabria maintain the Potential Severity Index 2 (IGR) and continue the preventive and extinguishing tasks. On the León side of Picos de Europa, access is still prohibited and citizens are asked to avoid the area of Valdeón, the closest to the active outbreaks. On the other hand, on the Cantabrian slope, the situation is favorable with weather conditions that favor the extinction work. For this reason, the Government of Cantabria has reopened the Fuente Dé cable car. Photo by Xuan Cueto / Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
