Evacuees from a wildfire try to rest as they are sheltered at La Marazuela sports centre in Las Rozas de Madrid, on July 27, 2026. Spain faces two crucial days to bring raging wildfires under control before weather conditions worsen, authorities said on July 27, 2026, though they were making some progress and planned to start returning evacuees to certain areas. The wildfires that broke out in forested areas around the Spanish capital at the height of the summer holidays have forced some 60,000 people to flee their homes, often with just minutes' notice, leaving pets and medicine behind.
