It comes as Alicante airport was forced to remain closed for the entirety of today. 

It means the country’s fifth busiest airport has now been closed since yesterday at 1pm.

Valencia and northeastern Spain have also been heavily impacted by the gota fria. 

Footage on Twitter shows river banks bursting and very rough coastal conditions in Valencia.
