Woman found dead after being swept away by flooding near Barcelona

Emergency crews in Catalonia found the body of a woman who was swept away by a swollen stream during heavy rain near Barcelona, according to ElDiario.es citing firefighters. The woman disappeared in Cabrera de Mar on Saturday evening and was recovered at sea near Premià de Mar on Sunday.

The victim had been walking beside the stream with her husband and children when a surge of water carried her away, the report said. Firefighters and other emergency responders launched a search after the disappearance was reported. Her body was later located in the water near the port area.

The incident occurred during Storm Adam, which brought strong rain, flooding and official weather warnings to several parts of eastern Spain. Catalonia's authorities sent emergency telephone alerts to affected communities, warning residents to avoid unnecessary travel and flood-prone areas.

El Mundo initially reported the woman as missing while search operations were continuing. The later ElDiario.es report, attributing information to the Generalitat's firefighters, confirmed that her body had been recovered. These are successive updates about one casualty, not separate missing-person and fatal incidents.

The sources did not report injuries to the family members who had been with the woman. Nor did they establish a detailed reconstruction of how the floodwater rose, so the report does not assign responsibility to any person or institution for the fatality.

Municipalities in the Barcelona region were dealing with blocked routes and further warnings of intense rain. Emergency authorities urged people to stay away from streams, underpasses and other places where water can rise quickly.

The casualty is linked to the floodwater incident in Cabrera de Mar. It must not be added to historical fatality figures cited in some reports about an earlier DANA disaster, and the full extent of this weekend's storm damage across Spain remains subject to separate assessments.
