One of the victims was a British woman resident of Alicante.
The Valencia Health Service is reported to be investigating whether the death of two women in the region was due to the British variant of Creutzfelt-Jabob, or mad cow disease.
The first case is of a 64 year old pensioner from Valencia and the second a British woman living in Alicante.
First reports indicate that a genetic mutation was the more likely cause of the disease in both cases, and not the consumption of contaminated meat.
In Spain there has been only three human cases of mad cow disease, one in Madrid and two in Castilla-León.
