Thousands evacuated as wildfire threatens Spanish coast

Thousands of people were evacuated from the coast of southern Spain on Friday as a wildfire menaced the wealthy resort town of Marbella, local authorities said.

About 4,000 people were evacuated from the village of Ojen and an additional 2,000 people from the eastern part of Marbella, said Maria Jose Figueira, a spokeswoman for Marbella's government.

The fire has been brought under control in Marbella but continues to rage out of control north of Marbella near Ojen and Coin, Figueira said.

At least one person is feared dead after a charred body, thought to be that of an elderly man, was found in Ojen, she told CNN. An injured German couple has been admitted to the Carlos Haya Hospital in Malaga, she added.

The wildfire started Thursday in Coin, to the north of Marbella, Figueira said.

It was at its most intense at noon Friday near the villages of Ojen, Coin and Monda, Spain's Efe news agency reported.

A racetrack in Marbella and a sports center in the Monda area have been set up as shelters for those forced to leave their homes, the news agency said.

However, those previously ordered to leave their homes in Marbella can now return, Figueira said.

The Costa del Sol, in Spain's Andalucia region, is popular with visitors for its Mediterranean beaches and sunshine, and is home to large numbers of expatriates, particularly from Britain.

The UK Foreign Office said it was working with Spanish authorities.

'We estimate that several hundred British nationals have been evacuated, including some 300 who have been relocated to evacuation centers in the La Cala de Mijas and Calahonda areas,' a Foreign Office spokeswoman said.

Marbella, studded with luxurious villas, is known as a destination for the rich and famous.

Monda and Ojen lie in the foothills of the Sierra de las Nieves, a mountainous area designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1995, according to the Costa del Sol Tourist Board.
