I am in Galicia (northwest of Spain) today everything was covered in smoke. I don't want to know how horrible it is for our Portuguese brothers.
I am visiting family in Porto, it's been quite apocalyptic.
I've not heard of a state if calamity. Is this specific to Portugal? I hope everybody is able to stay safe
