In the Vall de Laguar valley, almost 400 litres per square metre were measured during these four rainy days.

This morning the four bells of the bell tower of the Virgin of the Snow Church were installed. They were removed in September for being restored and for the conditioning of the bell tower itself, which had several cracks. The bells have reverted to their original state by means of low-pressure sandblasting, carried out to clean them and maintain their engravings.
