A 5.5-magnitude earthquake shook southern Spain on Monday, causing part of the roof of an airport in Almeria to collapse.
"We heard several noises one after the other and then a loud explosion and a big cloud of dust appeared," an airport employee told local media.
He added that the situation "was really scary for us. There were airport employees drinking their first coffee of the day, but luckily no one was hurt."
The earthquake was felt in the tourist areas of the Costa del Sol and Alicante.
Spanish newspaper El País reported that Granada, Malaga and Jaén, along with Murcia, Alicante and Albacete in the east, were among the worst-affected areas.
In Huercal de Almeria, a car showroom was damaged.
The earthquake occurred just a day after torrential rains brought chaos to streets, businesses and holiday camps across much of northeastern Spain.
