Fire in Benahavis

A fire has broken out in Benahavis, near Marbella.

This photo was taken on the road between Estepona and San Pedro.

The cause of the fire is still not yet known, but follows in the wake of a serious fire in Los Montes de Malaga exactly a week ago. The fire in Los Montes devestated 260 hectares of natural park.

So far this year there have been 20 such fires in Malaga Province, which experts say is within the average range of annual fires.
