IN PICS: Spectacular images of snow-covered Spain from the air

Satellite images show Spain under a blanket of snow after Storm Filomena dumped the heaviest snowfall recorded in Spain for half a century.
The photo appears like a black and white image but infact was produced in colour.
This image from @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2, taken on 11 January, shows #Madrid, Spain. This is not a black and white image, it is actually true colour – the heaviest #snowfall in 50 years has blanketed the region, turning the landscape white ?https://t.co/hY7qpfhLKp #madridsnow pic.twitter.com/T7tF619lOV

Even Tenerife had a dusting of snow, captured here on Spain's tallest peak, Mount Telde.

There's also a few clouds but the snow-covered part is clearly seen anyway! pic.twitter.com/m1gvJgsIzU
