Severe storms have left at least four people dead in Spain, local authorities said on Monday.
In the province of Toledo, south of Madrid, the bodies of two men were recovered on Monday, the government of the Castilla-La Mancha region said.
One of the victims died inside a vehicle and another was found dead in a garage lift.
Over the weekend, two men aged 31 and 34 died after drowning in raging water while trying to climb a gorge in north-eastern Spain.
Meanwhile, a search was under way for a man who was travelling with his wife and two children in the Madrid region on Sunday evening.
Their vehicle was swept away by the waters of the Alberche river, which had burst its banks.
The wife and daughter were able to save themselves while their 10-year-old son was able to take refuge on a tree and was found there after several hours.
Over the weekend, Spain was hit by storms with raging winds, heavy rain, lightning and hail.
