The army’s emergency brigade was called in on Friday night to help rescue around 600 drivers who were trapped in their vehicles on the N-122 in Soria province to the north east of Madrid due to heavy snow.
Snow also caused the closure of parts of the A-2 motorway in Guadalajara and the A-15 and A-2 in Soria.
A sharp rise in temperatures is leading to flooding warnings being issued as rivers rise in the area.
