The Canary Islands have now crashed with snow after heavy rainfall on flashy floods came to light that fell due to the popular hotspots of the holiday.
Counted, one of the most important cities on the island of Gran Canaria, was struck by touring rain that ensured that rivers and streams flooded – where a woman saved from her sinking car.
Shocking images have emerged from the island that drops torrents of muddy water through roads while cars get out of hand on the edge of immersion.
And images of Teide National Park in Tenerife have shown that the iconic mountain of the area is covered with a blanket of snow.
The Tenerife Cabildo yesterday shared various videos with the volcano that was completely transformed by snow and offers rare views that think more of polar regions than a typical subtropical landscape.
Because of ice on the roads, all access routes to the popular Teide National Park remain closed to guarantee public safety.
The rare rain and snow have released hell over the islands with the seriousness of the circumstances that encourage authorities to advise residents and tourists to stay inside.
In a recent clip of Radio Canaria, a red car can be seen in the front of a row of other deserted vehicles while the rain picks up.

But in a frightening turn of events, a woman is trapped in the car that appears only a few moments away from sinking.
A passer -by quickly pushes her umbrella away and walks through the flood water before opening the car door and drags the woman to safety.
The Canary Islands have been flooded in recent days, with streets that have been changed in rivers by the weather phenomenon that is known locally as Dana – a Spanish acronym for isolated depression at high altitudes, and in contrast to ordinary storms or squalls it can form independent of polar or subtropical jet streams.
When cold air blows over warm Mediterranean waters, it ensures that hotter air rises quickly and forms towering, dense, water loaded with water that can stay over the same area for many hours, increasing their destructive potential.
Aemet says that Danas sometimes becomes stationary or even goes backwards, from east to west.
After the weekend of rain in a large part of the archipelago, the Dana will go from the Gulf of Cadiz to the Canary Islands this week, making it unstable until Thursday, according to local reports.
On Monday, yellow weather warnings were published on the western islands, but the east and south of Gran Canaria were hit with an orange warning when strong storms were brewed in the field.
These yellow warnings will last part of the day on Tuesday and will also be expanded to Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

Tenerife is also under a yellow warning, with rain forecast in the north of the island, the metropolitan area and the eastern, southern and western slopes.
In Tenerife, at least 80 people got stuck in a supermarket because they could not reach their vehicles due to a high water level in a parking space, according to local reports.
Emergency services worked to pump water from the parking lot to enable people to leave the building.
A state of 'pre-alert' was issued by authorities in the Canary Islands on Saturday 1 March, after the archipelago hit the weekend at the weekend.
On Monday, dramatic images arose from the islands showing that cars are quickly swept in the sea tens of meters while strong rain hits the island.

While some cars were dragged into the sea by the aggressive floods, others were stuck or destroyed vertically. Bollards rattled and bins were also wiped out by the heavy streams.
A number of vehicles were also dragged to the Las Bachilleras Ravine.
Yesterday, a clean -up operation started when residents and firefighters kicked and brushes picked up hills of mud on the street and houses of the poorly affected Salinetas district to erase.
Local news website Canaria Weekly said that emergency services remained on 'high alert' and the authorities have warned people to prevent unnecessary travel.

The severe rainfall and even snow came during the carnival celebrations of the islands, which leads to various events that are blown off or planned again.
The annual festival, planned to end on March 9, has a Drag Queen competition and parades with fancy dress and falls in the period prior to Easter.
Last year, flash flames in Valencia and other parts of Spain kill more than 200 people, destroyed thousands of houses and caused mass protests against regional authorities.
The most current reports indicate that 223 people lost their lives, with at least 31 still lacking, making it the deadliest weather disaster in Spain in decades.
The emergency aid included the use of more than 2,000 employees from the military Nooden unit of Spain, who worked together with local responders and volunteers to perform rescue and recovery operations.
An extra number of more than 30,000 volunteers were mobilized from all over the country to support the clean -up efforts.
To date, hundreds of families have lost their homes and have destroyed thousands of their vehicles.
