There is another fire blazing in the campo between el Pinell de Brai and across the mountain range called Sierra de Caballs which separates this village from Gandesa and Corbera dÉbre.

I have been following the news on Cat24 all afternoon, and the latest count is 120 hectares, and because of the wind it is going in the direction of Santa Madrona in Corbera, which is a very hstorical site from the Battle of the Ebro, the now existing ermita (hermitage) where I sometimes get the keys to celebrate family fiestas, is in danger of being destroyed.

This was used during the civil war as a field hospital, and the local people now use it for fiestas like the village paella and the harvest festival.

It will be a disaster for the local people as this is the first tragedy since the civil war.

I will try to keep everyone informed but I´m actually in Northern Aragon on business.

This is another disaster for Catalunya.
