the heat wave affects the inhabitants

They all have the same obsession: finding water at all costs. In Spain, a heat wave is hitting the country hard. In Seville, the temperature reached 37 degrees on the morning of Wednesday April 26. The afternoon looks even worse. “We are very hot, we are looking for shade somewhere, water or even a place to go because it is really too hot”, entrusts a server on the spot. Never have street vendors worked so much during this period. “We notice that what people buy the most are hats, fans, parasols, things that allow them not to be burned by the sun’s rays”explains one of them.

500,000 people expected for the feria

The concern weighs because, this week, it is the feria in Seville. 500,000 people are expected so the emergency services are on alert. More caregivers have been mobilized by the City this year in view of the situation. “Yesterday we had more incidents than in other years. We had 309 and most of them because of the heat”, details a municipal councilor. The heat wave comes from Africa and affects southern Spain.
