A large wildfire in southwestern Spain was burning beyond firefighters' ability to extinguish it on Monday, regional authorities said, as hot and windy weather ​fuelled other blazes raging across the country.

With consecutive heatwaves scorching much of Europe, ‌the Mediterranean nation is facing a devastating summer wildfire season, with over 244,000 hectares (603,000 acres) of countryside burnt in 400 fires so far this year, according to estimates by the European Forest ​Fire Information System.
