VALENCIA, Spain, July 1, 2012 (AFP) - Two forest fires sweeping Spain's eastern Valencia region that have forced 3,000 people to evacuate their homes showed no sign of abating on Sunday, authorities said.
Despite more favourable weather conditions of "lower temperatures, increased humidity and an easterly wind", coming from the Mediterranean, the fires "continue to advance", said authorities.
