The fires keep flaring up: for a week and a half, firefighters have been trying to contain the forest fires in Spain.
In the Navarra region, around 1,000 people from twelve smaller towns had to be brought to safety.
The fires are caused by drought and heat: Last week, record temperatures of more than 40 degrees were measured.
It usually doesn't get that hot until August.
Bernardo Funes, organic farmer
“It's climate change, that's obvious. It worries me a lot because it's June and we've already had two heat waves. In May it was 34 and 35 degrees. That wasn't normal. And now in June it's about 44 degrees. No rain, no moisture. This is very worrying."

“We need to use our air conditioners and keep the fans running. That means additional costs. Everything is more expensive now, including petrol. It's terrible.'
On Sunday, temperatures finally fell below 30 degrees in many places, and the worst fire in the Sierra de la Culeba mountain range near the border with Portugal could be extinguished.
What remains are 25,000 hectares of charred forest.
It also burned in Germany: In Treuenbrietzen and Beelitz in Brandenburg, around 600 people had to leave their homes at times.
The fire ate through a total of around 400 hectares of forest and undergrowth.
Heavy rain set in on Monday morning and firefighters got the fire under control.
