How the Valencia Storms Have Affected Mallorca, Spain

I have been asked if the Valencia floods have affected Mallorca, so I wanted to bring you this island update.

In addition, I have some advice if you are visiting the island on holiday, particularly over the winter and we receive storm warning.

I have been asked for the best way to donate to the Valencia recovery effort.
My best recommendation is to donate directly to those who can put the funds quickly to where they are most needed:
Here are 3 suggestions. If I see anything else, I’ll keep you posted.
1. CARITAS SPAIN is the Catholic Church’s official Organisation for charity and social relief
They are organising help in affected areas of Valencia.
Donate here:
Caixabank ES50 2100 0390 2102 0105 9469
2. THE RED CROSS, emergency aid to victims of the disaster on the ground
The Red Cross in Valencia has also activated a team specialized in child care.
Santander ES44 0049 0001 5321 1002 2225
BBVA ES92 0182 2370 4600 1002 2227

Bless all who have suffered in this awful tragedy and also the poor animals thank you Alex for as always sharing this important information .

[carolinegoode]

Recent events are so sad. Thoughts are with everyone affected. ❤️

[marhoog]

Thank you that you mentioned animals too, they are even more helpless and victoms

[edwardcooper]

Your on the ground information and advice is greatly appreciated, left Majorca the same day as you did Alex on Saturday and now feeling sheepish for moaning about the delays, the loss of life in the Valencia area puts everything into perspective, hope the residents can get the help they need and that they can get back to normality asap.

[Katie-mcbe]

Glad to see that all is well and pretty much back to normal in your area Alex

[AnnCalverley-vofz]

There is a general feeling of sadness here on the island. Some of the events at the huge Fira in Inca have been cancelled as a mark of respect. In Mercadona lots of solemn faces, and tearful eyes during the minute’s silence.
On the up side, I bought a lovely cauliflower!

Super respectful video Alex. My heart goes out to the valencians. I still can’t get my head around some of the pictures on the news. I know Spain is super family oriented so I’m positive they will all be pulling together to help

[TheVigilant]

Such a tragedy. Take care Alex and thanks for the updates. Good advice as usual. Best wishes, John

[frogladybg]

Thinking of all those affected by the recent storm. Your supermarket is so clean and spacious compared to our ones in Wiltshire. ❤️🐸

[faithg]

Alex thank you for your update, the news from mainland Spain is horrific, how terrifying for all those involved. It's heartbreaking.

[BabyRQ]

Thank you so much Alex for this information. Please stay safe. Greetings from USA 🇺🇸

[dianeleahy]

I have just said to my husband, imagine if we had a years rain all at once. Those poor people who have lost their lives, and the people who have lost their homes and businesses, I really do feel for them. Thanks for the information Alex. Take care.

[Travel-fitness]

So Sad to hear this 😢 never knew storms could get so bad.

[harvardfacebook]

Thank you very much Alex, some great advice 👍👍👍.

[aprilclark]

Thank you Alex so sorry for all the people affected

For those that don't know, in Mallorca, "torrents" are gullies that run down from the mountains to the coast and are dry a lot of the time, but when it rains, they can carry a frightening amount of water. Torrent is the Catalan word. In other parts of Spain, they are called arroyos.

[tinaboyle]

I'm very sad about these events glad things aren't so bad on the island 😢

[Glyn-r]

Storms at this time of year are normal but something is seriously wrong when a years worth of rain falls in 24 hours. This is a tragedy but also a good time to see people pull together to support each other. Spain will get through this but it's a warning to the future.
