Firefighters in Spain struggled to contain wildfires on Sunday amid an unusual heat wave in western Europe for this time of year.
In central-north Navarra, authorities have evacuated some 15 small villages as a precaution, as the high temperatures in the area are not expected to drop until Wednesday.
They also asked farmers to stop using heavy machinery that could unintentionally spark a fire.
The worst damage in Spain has been in the northwest province of Zamora where over 25-thousand hectares (61-thousand acres) have been consumed, regional authorities said.
