A landslide of 150,000 cubic metres of earth has destroyed part of the municipal sports stadium in the town of Macael.
The slide began at 9 o’clock on Saturday evening, as the nearby hillside began to give way, and by late Monday afternoon had spread to affect 20 metres of an adjacent industrial estate: the foundations of one company’s office area were left uncovered. 100 metres of the southern spectator stand in the stadium itself were affected, with the earth also spreading onto the athletics track which encircles the football field.
The Mayor of Macael, Juan Pastor, said he believed the soaked clay soil of the hillside gave way due to the past month of rainfall.
