Serpis River overflows its banks following torrential rainfall in Gandia, Valencia, Spain

On October 19, 2026, in Gandia, Valencia, Spain, @ToOne30267 shared a video showing the Serpis River overflowing after intense rainfall. In the video, the river has swollen into a powerful, muddy brown torrent rushing alongside urban neighborhoods and apartment buildings. The water rises to the top of the concrete embankments, submerging riverside walkways as the strong current carries away vegetation, branches, and mud. According to reports, the flooding was triggered by Storm DANA “Adam,” a severe weather system that brought prolonged, torrential rainfall to Spain’s eastern Mediterranean coast. Weather stations in parts of the nearby La Safor area recorded approximately 400 to 500 liters of rain per square meter, contributing to the river’s dramatic rise and widespread flooding across the region.
