Heavy machinery clears mud and rocks after landslide blocks coastal highway in Agaete, Spain

On November 9, 2026, in Agaete, Gran Canaria, Spain, @AugustoHidalgo_ shared a video showing cleanup operations following a landslide and rockfall along the GC-200 highway between Agaete and El Risco. In the video, a winding section of the coastal road is covered with thick mud, loose soil, and scattered rocks that have fallen from the steep cliff beside the roadway. Heavy machinery can be seen removing the debris and clearing the affected stretch to restore traffic access. The author reported that up to four backhoes were deployed to remove the accumulated mud and rocks before the highway reopened. According to reports, the road was temporarily closed following rockfalls caused by heavy rainfall associated with Storm Bruna. After cleanup operations were completed, the GC-200 reopened to traffic on November 9, 2026.
