Costa del Sol Fire: Laguna Village Hotel, Restaurants and Shopping Complex in Flames

The Laguna Village, between San Pedro and Estepona, Spain has been engulfed in flames with smoke visible for miles around after fire broke out in nearby woodland

Daily Mirror UK, 29 AUG 2020.

Shocking images show a devastating blaze which has broken out this afternoon at a popular tourist resort in the Costa del Sol.

The Laguna Village has been engulfed in flames, with smoke visible for miles around, according to stunned witnesses.

The shopping and restaurant complex is completely ablaze, with terrified tourists seen running to safety as the fire took hold.

It started at around 1.45pm, with emergency services declaring a Level One emergency shortly before 4pm, according to reports in Spain.

It is believed the fire broke out in woodland surrounding the complex, which is between San Pedro and Estepona, Malaga.

Fire services are using helicopters in an effort to extinguish the blaze from the air.

A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency services coordinator confirmed: “Level One of the Emergency Forest Fire plan has been activated because of a fire in Estepona.”

Authorities are worried as the huge blaze is close to a petrol station, sparking fears of an explosion, Olive Press reports.

It is not yet known if anyone has been injured.

One Spanish tourist could be heard shouting: “My God, how awful” as she started crying with emotion at the sight of the blue sky over the sand turning black as the flames neared the commercial centre, and others ran for safety.

A British local who filmed the blaze taking hold said: “That’s the end of Purobeach everybody.”

At one point fire could be seen taking hold of a tiki bar with a thatched roof as holidaymakers and staff fled in panic near the swimming pool.

Employees shouted out: ‘Fuera, fuera’ - Spanish for ‘Get out, get out’ as others rushed to get a hose and douse the flames.

Three helicopters and around 30 firefighters on the ground were involved in the operation to tackle the blaze.

The dual-carriageway running between the sea on one side and the mountains on the other was closed in both directions.

Subsequent photos circulating on social media appeared to show the whole of Laguna Village, home to Purobeach Marbella and beach clubs Camuri and Claro as well as real estate offices and a VIP car washing service, had been gutted.

Local reports said the flames had reached the five-star Kempinski Hotel next to Laguna Village.

The blaze occurred just over a week after a trendy Costa del Sol hotel popular with British revellers including celebs and sports stars went up in flames.

A French holidaymaker died and ten people suffered smoke inhalation in the fire early on August 21at the Sisu Boutique Hotel near the upmarket resort of Puerto Banus.

An investigation into that fire is still ongoing.
