Authorities issue further warnings for torrential rains and storms in Catalonia and Valencia

Civil Protection authorities have issued a fresh warning for continual torrential rains in parts of Catalonia on Sunday.

The counties of Garraf, Alt Penedès, and Baix Penedès will be hit hardest by adverse weather. 

Authorities urge people to stay away from rivers and ravines in these areas. 

Spain's Meteorological Agency, AEMET, has also activated a red alert warning for strong storms on the southern coast of Valencia for Sunday.

The warning is in place in triangle of towns formed by Cullera, Gandia, and Alzira.

AEMET predicts downpours in the next few hours that can accumulate more than 90 liters in 60 minutes, although they are not expected to be "very persistent" downpours.

"Extreme danger, great caution" the warning by the state meteorological agency reads in a message on X.

The General Directorate of Traffic (DGT) recommends not driving along the southern coast of Valencia following this alert.

King, Prime Minister, regional president heckled

Residents of Paiporta have thrown mud at the entourage led by Spanish king Felipe V, the Spanish Prime Minsiter Pedro Sánchez, and the regional president Carlos Mazón.

The three authorities, accompanied by Queen Letizia, planned to visit Paiporta and Xiva, two of the towns most heavily hit by the recent floods, on Sunday, but the visit to Xiva was called off after the tension experienced in Payporta.

The royal family were hit by mud as scores of people shouted "murderers" at them.

Locals also demanded Carlos Mazón, whose managing of the crisis has been widely criticized, resign.

Horseback officers of the Civil Guard were deployed in the area and several agents on foot tried to prevent umbrellas and mud from reaching the royals.

Despite the generally poor reception, the king and queen continued speaking to residents, some of whom embraced the royals.

Residents of Paiporta were outraged by the visit of the authorities and the response to the devastation caused by the floods.

With streets still full of mud, emergency services are still searching for missing people, and there is a feeling among locals that not enough resources are coming.

People criticize how the crisis is being managed and demand political responsibility. "It is not possible that so many people have died and that no heads are rolling," Carlos Martínez said to the Catalan News Agency.

Another neighbor, Eva García, assures that "they are not dead, they have been murdered."

"We don't need hugs or tender words, we need machines," García adds.

They also lamented that the passage of volunteers to ground zero has been restricted this Sunday.
