Earthquake relief and seismic activity in Granada

Overview

Following an earthquake that occurred on a Saturday, the Granada City Council established a specialized assistance office at the Zaidín Civic Center to support affected residents. Coordinated with the Granada Bar Association (ICAGR), the office provides free legal advice and assistance for administrative procedures.

Seismic activity has intensified, including a significant magnitude 5.2 tremor on Friday, August 15, and a subsequent major quake measuring between 4.7 and 4.8 magnitude on Tuesday, August 18, with its epicenter in Gójar. These tremors have caused material damage, such as fallen trees, damaged vehicles, and debris from building facades and roofs. At least three people, including one minor, have sustained minor injuries.

In response, authorities have implemented several precautionary measures. The Alhambra complex has evacuated the Nasrid Palaces and the Alcazaba for structural inspections, and the Granada City Council has ordered the temporary closure of municipal buildings. Additionally, the Granada Metro has reduced train speeds to 30 km/h. The Junta de Andalucía remains in an emergency phase of its seismic risk response plan.
