Heavy rains also hit central Spain, as well as the Madrid region.
Earlier in the week, Spanish authorities closed schools, universities and nurseries as a precaution after heavy rains left flooded basements and submerged cars.
Although the rains caused chaos and economic damage, they were welcomed in Spain, which experienced its driest spring on record, based on records dating back to 1961, according to the National Meteorological Service AEMET.
According to the agency, rainfall during the period between October and May was 27% below the seasonal average.
Heavy rain is expected to continue today, AEMET warns.
At least 13 people lost their lives in mid-May in northern Italy and 23,000 were left homeless by the rains and floods that followed, causing billions of euros in damage.
