Earthquakes struck Spain at the weekend.

The province of Malaga, which lies in Andalusia in southern Spain, was at the weekend hit by a seismic swarm, as it is called.

There were several earthquakes measuring up to 3.2 on the Richter scale. People felt the low-intensity tremors, but no injuries were recorded by the emergency services.

Seismic activity is more intense in southern and eastern Spain.

The province of Málaga is located near the boundary between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates.

The last major earthquake in Spain was in 2021. There were more than 500 tremors in the entire region, incl. Andalusia.

Granada measured 4.4 on the Richter scale. No one was killed, but buildings were damaged.
