Large-scale Fire In Pauls, Catalonia

The remains of a burned-down car are among trees after a wildfire burns more than 3,000 hectares in the south of Catalonia. The bushfire, of unknown origin, starts in a mountainous area and quickly spreads to nearby towns due to the dry vegetation and strong winds in Xerta, Spain, on July 10, 2025.
