Evolución favorable de los fuegos en Niebla (Huelva) y la Sierra de Algairén (Zaragoza)
Over 1,000 individuals were displaced following the fire in Huesca, which threatens neighboring municipalities and the San Juan de la Peña monastery.
The firefighting efforts continued on Saturday night, with 1,021 people from 18 municipalities remaining homeless. The blaze has ravaged more than 15,000 hectares of land. However, in recent hours, extinguishing teams managed to prevent the fire from reaching urban areas and the two monasteries of San Juan de la Peña.
The monasteries, both the new and old, of San Juan de la Peña had their relics and other historically valuable items moved to the Museum of Huesca. The judge sentenced the 28-year-old man detained as a suspected arsonist to prison without bail on Friday.
Weather forecasts predict rain and temperatures dropping to five degrees on Saturday, which could aid firefighting efforts. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called for maximum caution regarding the fires on the social media platform X and expressed gratitude for the "non-stop" work of the firefighting personnel.
