In Mallorca, 700 people have been evacuated from the town of Estellencs in the west of the island as a fierce forest fire edges closer.

Security forces told euronews that the blaze is not yet under control.

It began two days ago near Andratx, quickly scorching through the oak and pine forest above the town.

Since then, the fire has blazed through an area of more than 2,000 hectares - the worst fire in Mallorca since 1999.

With temperatures of 40 degrees in the shade and high winds, it is moving fast and difficult to contain.

More than 300 firefighters have been deployed. Aeroplanes and helicopters are also being used to douse the flames.
