The Huesca fire leaves 16 municipalities evacuated and threatens San Juan de la Peña: “If it burns, the symbol of the origin of Aragon would be lost”

830 personas siguen desalojadas y la UME trasladó este jueves los restos óseos de los primeros monarcas y otras piezas de valor

Translated from Spanish Read in Spanish

A fire in Huesca, originating from Peñas de Riglos, has led to the evacuation of four more towns, bringing the total to 16 municipalities and 830 people since the fire started. The fire threatened the old and new monasteries of San Juan de la Peña, surrounding them after a change in wind direction. Dozens of emergency responders were deployed to protect the historic and artistic complex, which is considered the birthplace of the Kingdom of Aragon.
