Was it very localised to Sanat Pola or did GA get a bit of a soaking ?

Hi Beach Life. It seems to be Santa Pola and Guadamar that were hit by the very big wave. 

As it was from the sea I would think to hit GA it would have had to travel up from, and over, Arenalas.  Now that would be really scary!  It doesn't mention the 'rocky road' though so that might have been hit.

Sorry - I completely misunderstood looking back at the video, I thought it was wave plus rain.  I can understand now, Playa Lisa is super flat and the road and houses behind are not on any raised land at all, so I can see how only that specific area is affected

Just a few drops of rain in Monte mar nothing to worry about
