Why are hundreds of chickens roaming the streets of Spain's Torrevieja? - No, this is not the start of the joke, it's actually true. https://t.co/AR5sm1ZOft #Spain

@spainexpat @Ryanair Ha ha yes! I hardly ever fly with @Ryanair actually and this was one of the few times in years, only because they were the only ones going to that airport.

[Esme Fox @EsmeFox]

Horrible experience with @Ryanair - on the way there flight was disrupted by a drunk stag do of around 20 and on the way back flight was cancelled - not offered any way to rebook or an alternative, only dropped at a hotel in the middle of nowhere and told us we were on our own!

After the chaotic nationwide blackout in #Spain yesterday, what's happening and are things getting back to normal? My latest for The Local Spain: https://t.co/GmYVLkEuJu

[Esme Fox @EsmeFox]

@MarkDeforce Hi Mark, Sorry I was covering the power cut for The Local Spain, so didn't have much time to answer your message. I hope you managed to get enough voice notes from people.

[Esme Fox @EsmeFox]

Just had a massive nationwide power cut here in #Spain, with reports saying the same across Portugal. 4G hasn't been working either. Metro, train stations and some businesses closed, and traffic lights not working. Power is now back on in #Barcelona, but not everywhere.

[Esme Fox @EsmeFox]

Anyone else have power back in Spain? Please let me know and where you are. #Spain
