The first snow of the winter has fallen in the Sierra Nevada in Granada, coinciding with the bank holiday El Pilar Puente weekend.

The snow’s arrival is later than that seen in other years; the first flakes fell there last year on September 13.

The fresh snow is a thin layer above 2,700m, but enough to excite skiing fans.

Meanwhile the storms on Monday night in the south of Valencia region are forecast to leave as much as 120 litres of rain per square metre.
