4/2/2026 – The passage of Storm Leonardo through Fuengirola has ended without any major incidents during the first part of today’s day. The City Council deployed a broad municipal operation made up of Local Police, Firefighters, Urban Ecology, Road Intervention and the Cleaning service, with the aim of guaranteeing the safety of neighbors and visitors in the face of inclement weather.
Following the warnings issued by the State Meteorological Agency (AEMET), which placed Fuengirola at yellow level due to rain and orange due to wind, the City Council activated the Municipal Emergency Plan in the Pre-Emergency phase yesterday. The mayor, Ana Mula, met with the Municipal Emergency Committee early in the afternoon to coordinate preventive work and plan the response to possible incidents derived from the meteorological episode.
Among the first measures adopted were the closure of public parks, access to beaches and breakwaters, the suspension of municipal cultural and sports activities and the activation of all emergency services. Likewise, the Junta de Andalucía decreed the suspension of face-to-face classes throughout the autonomous community, except in the province of Almería.
From the first moment, Local Police and Firefighters have worked in a coordinated manner, monitoring public spaces and remaining alert to any risk situation that could occur, to guarantee safety.
For their part, municipal services have carried out cleaning and removal of remains, reorganizing the operation based on the needs detected.
The City Council wanted to expressly thank the dedication, professionalism and coordination of the Fuengirola Local Police, the Fire Service and the Municipal Operational Services of Conservation, Cleaning and Urban Ecology.
Likewise, the City Council also appreciates the understanding, prudence and collaboration of the neighbors in the face of this exceptional situation and maintains active monitoring of meteorological developments.
