An earthquake strikes Granada, Spain, with magnitudes reported around 4.8 to 5.0, shaking buildings and prompting people to flee homes and hotels. Multiple outlets describe the quake as occurring around the early hours of Saturday, waking residents and startling tourists in the city and nearby areas including Alhendín.
Reports also describe damage to homes and other structures, with some citing cars affected and emergency crews responding to potential hazards. The Local says the iconic Alhambra is not structurally harmed in one report, while other coverage focuses on residents and visitors evacuating. Channel NewsAsia adds that three people are lightly injured and that buildings are damaged. Several outlets also reference a subsequent quake in the same region days later, with authorities urging caution and evacuating the Alhambra after the later tremor.
Outlets differ mainly on exact magnitude figures and specific impacts, but they broadly agree on the timing, the location near Granada/Alhendín, the public reaction, and the presence of building damage and minor injuries.
