I'm planning on a 3.5 week vacation to the Costa Blanca from mid December to early January. I'm taking the plane to Alicante, where my parents will pick me up for a car trip to Calpé. I've spent 29 of my last 30 winters in Calpé, the only exception being during the COVID-19 Pandemic in 2020 when the Communidad Valencia had closed their borders for all non-essential travel. As you can probably tell, this vacation is important to me, and I really do not want to cancel it unless I am forced to because Valencia closed the borders again.
The past week or so, Valencia has been hit by calamitous amounts of rain, with extreme floods causing extensive damage and over a hundred casualties. Bridges have collapsed, roads have been blocked up with wrecked cars and massive amounts of mud, and the main railroad between Madrid and Valencia has been destroyed.
That being said, based on rain maps and webcam footage from the region, Calpé appears to have missed the brunt of the rain, and the roads between Alicante and Calpé seem to be open according to Google and Waze.
I am currently operating under the assumption that my vacation will happen like usual, but I would like to know if there are things I should be aware of with regards to travel to this region in light of the recent floods.
