Spanish wildfires drive thousands from homes close to Costa del Sol

Firefighters battle to contain blazes in Andalucia as Spain drafts in military to help

People have fled their homes in six more Andalucian towns and villages as Spain sent in a military unit to help tackle wildfires raging close to a Costa del Sol resort.

A blaze fanned by strong winds has driven out almost 2,000 people and killed one emergency worker since it began on Wednesday in the mountainous Sierra Bermeja above Estepona, a popular spot with British tourists and retirees.
