A 4.1 magnitude earthquake has struck Pruna in Sevilla.

An earthquake of magnitude 4.1 on the Richter scale has been registered tonight, Tuesday, October 19, with its epicentre to the northwest of the Sevillian town of Pruna, see map below.

There has so far been no reports of personal or material damage, according to Emergencias 112 Andalucía, a service attached to the Ministry of the Presidency, Public Administration and Interior of the Board.

The National Geographic Institute (IGN) located the center of the earthquake, which occurred at 7:43 p.m., at a depth of one kilometre and which caused at least five calls to 112 from residents who felt the tremors in their homes from the Sevilla capital itself, Pruna, Coripe, Villanueva de San Juan and from Olvera, in Cádiz.

A European emergency phone centre contacted the border emergency services both in Cádiz and in the Sierra Sur de Sevilla and none of them have said for the moment that there is any evidence of damage.

Ron actually started his working career as an Ophthalmic Technician- things changed when, during a band rehearsal, his amplifier blew up and he couldn’t get it fixed so he took a course at Birmingham University and ended up doing a degree course. He built up a chain of electronics stores and sold them as a franchise over 35 years ago. After five years touring the world Ron decided to move to Spain with his wife and son, a place they had visited over the years, and only bought the villa they live in because it has a guitar-shaped swimming pool!. Playing the guitar since the age of 7, he can often be seen, (and heard!) at beach bars and clubs along the length of the coast. He has always been interested in the news and constantly thrives to present his articles in an interesting and engaging way.
