A human chain on Les Deveses beach on Sunday in protest over the poor state of their shores could be seen as jumping the gun – the entire coast was under water by Wednesday morning following the first in a series of freak storms hitting the Marina Alta.
Tuesday night’s 79 litres of rain per square metre had reached 160 litres by Wednesday, leaving the CV-673 and Jávea’s Arenal esplanade closed off due to floods.
