Spain counts the cost of 'nightmare' wildfire summer

Spain is grappling with the aftermath of a devastating wildfire summer, with multiple blazes ravaging 0.8% of the country's surface area, particularly affecting regions like Castilla y León, Galicia, and Extremadura. The wildfires have had a significant impact on industries like honey production and agriculture, with losses estimated at €600m and concerns about future insurance costs. Beyond economic ramifications, tourism in areas like Porto de Sanabria and Cádiz has also been hit hard, impacting local businesses and livelihoods. Efforts are underway to support affected sectors and mitigate the long-term effects of the wildfires on Spain's economy and environment.
