I was at our cave in Granada province during the Dana storm and experienced what I considered an unbelievable 110mm of water in eighteen hours, until finding out that one village near Valencia had almost five times that amount.
The worst affected area was to the south and south west of Valencia but almost all the roads are now open. Check current status at https://infocar.dgt.es/etraffic/
Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe after Switzerland. I used to ride through central Spain each January to get to Morocco to follow the Dakar Rally. On one trip, six of us had electrically-heated jackets, one didn't, and he messaged his wife to get her to post one to a hotel in Algeciras for the return trip.
