I bet the Parres centre took a hammering - it's staying open this Winter. Last weekend was lovely

Unsure if true or not but I've just read that part of the roof at Mercadona has collapsed
More videos being posted on Facebook, looks terrible
I bet there a lot of houses in GA that have damp patches like never before

It's been wet john pretty much 48 hrs on really heavy rain all the road and car parks were like rivers haven't heard about mercadonnas roof but it was open earlier when I went past . The wind was really bad seen a few bits of toldos along the roads and it raining lightly again now

Has been pretty bad, we were up at 3.30 am stemming water coming in from the galleria when the drain just couldnt cope, the road  between the beach and Carabassi bars was well flooded with the water pouring into the clot like a waterfall over the path. Worse than Ive seen here for a very long time.

Beach at Carabassi seems to have fared better than a lot of others on costa Blanca , was there any damage to Clot or elsewhere in area?

The last few planks of wood of the Parres Centre; a few diesel spills that I hope they clear up.

Lovely on the beach today but a bracing wind, as John says out of the wind it's toasty. The south terrace of the Estrella Mar bar in Arenales is my recommendation.

Hope you made it OK.

Time your visit between 2 and 4pm when the terrace is in full sun and there are little free snacks with every round of drinks. It can be a bit windy so be prepared for that.

Lovely again today but the wind is a bit stronger.
