Power outage hits large parts of Spain and Portugal

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/large-parts-spain-portugal-hit-by-power-outage-2025-04-28/

 

MADRID/LISBON, April 28 (Reuters) - Spain and Portugal were hit by a widespread power outage on Monday that paralysed public transport, caused large traffic jams and delayed flights.
Utility operators sought to restore the grid but Spanish electricity transmission operator Red Eléctrica said the outage, the cause of which was not immediately known, could last from six to 10 hours. Officials said the possibility that it was caused by a cyber attack had not been ruled out.

Not that bad. I'm in Marbella. Old ladies buying all the bread. I could only order cold tapas and you have to pay cash. Beer is getting a little warm.I need to write a strongly worded letter to the Red Electrical company. 

Traffic circles everywhere are the norm so traffic is ok. Worst part is internet went down at 1230 and it's just now coming back (it's 545pm now). No TV. The German school near me went to all day recess so the kids were being loud all afternoon and screaming about invading Poland and shit. 

They said it was heat related but only got up to about 75 today here. I had no idea this was kind of a big deal until I tried to go down the mountain where I live to eat and the internet came back on and I saw this thread. I just thought my neighborhood went out.  Oh, no ice cream at the supermarket, they taped everything shut.
