The freezing temperatures across Spain, where extreme weather warnings have been present everywhere this week except the Canary Islands, are expected to continue over the weekend.

Un placer disfrutar en #Ronda, en la más absoluta soledad, de su Calle La Bola con la nieve reciente. Bueno, solo solo.. y estas 2 señoritas pic.twitter.com/ckQhaYU5g9
