A recent wildfire in the Valencia region of Spain left scorched land, burned-out homes and blackened trees as residents returned to survey the damage.

People were finally allowed to return home over the weekend after the towns of Bejis and Toras were evacuated. They found firefighters still damping down the area.

Authorities said that firefighting had gone well on Saturday night and more evacuees could return to their towns on Sunday, although 21 planes and helicopters were still active in the area.

Wildfires have recently burned across areas of eastern Spain as strong winds fanned fires raging through parched bushland, burning more than 19,000 hectares in the Valencia region.

Climate change has left parts of the Iberian peninsula at their driest in 1,200 years, according to a study published last month in the Nature Geoscience journal.
