The port of Melilla following the disastrous weather conditions between Spain and Morocco closed its doors on Wednesday 15 March.

Indeed after a very difficult arrival of a ferry (the Fortuny) of the company transmediterranea which makes the crossing between Almeria and Melilla, the managers of the port decided to close. The traffic is therefore interrupted today.
 
The ship and its poor passengers suffered troughs of more than 5 meters and winds near 110 km / h on arrival at the port.

The images are impressive and very scary ... Images of youtube channels FaroTVMelilla.

The closure of a Spanish port in Africa during the winter due to storms is common (that of Ceuta was closed for 2 days in February 2017 remember).

According to the management company of the Teide cableway, more than sixty people were stuck by a breakdown in the ascent to the Volcano of Tenerife / Canarias.

We remind you that the cable car makes it possible to climb up the Teide from 2356 meters of altitude down to 3,556 meters upwards and then you reach a sloping path up to 3718 meters above Tenerife.

This cable car is very popular for its exceptional view of the Canary Islands even in low season! The weather in the Canary Islands is mild throughout the year.

The stuck people were descended by well-honed rope systems.

The people at the top of the Teide cable car have, with rare exceptions, descended by the trail. Those unable to do so were heliborne.

The company at this time this March 15, 2017 did not indicate the origin of the breakdown and closed all afternoon.

The ticket being at 27 euros in 2017 to climb Teide, we hope that the poor passengers have been compensated.
