Forest fires engulf city of Valencia, Spain

[Meatpie]

At least three thousand people have been evacuated from the popular tourist area of Valencia as the worst forest fires for more than a decade scorch Eastern Spain.


Civilians and tourists were forced to leave the area as clouds of smoke and ash engulfed the city.


Up to 45,000 hectares of land may have already been destroyed by the two uncontrollable forest fires along the Eastern coast not far from Valencia.
