🇪🇸 Wildfires threaten to destroy Las Médulas — a UNESCO World Heritage Site (August 11, 2025)
🔥🌲🏛Since August 9, 2025, massive wildfires have been raging in the autonomous community of Castile and León in northwestern Spain, reaching the natural area of Las Médulas — a unique landscape inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The fire spread rapidly due to extreme heat (up to 40 °C ) and strong winds (up to 50 km/h ), engulfing residential areas, destroying homes and warehouses, and causing power outages. More than 1,400 people have been evacuated from the El Bierzo region.
The mayor of the city of Borrenes called on the government to declare the region a disaster zone.
Firefighting teams, including military units, continue battling the flames, but weather conditions remain unfavorable.
