Granada Shaken by 4.8-Magnitude Quake as Alhambra Partly Evacuated. A 4.8-magnitude earthquake struck the Spanish province of Granada on Tuesday morning, prompting authorities to take preventive measures around the city and some of its most important public buildings. The quake was felt strongly across the area, with three people suffering minor injuries, including a child who was taken to hospital. Authorities ordered the preventive evacuation of part of the Alhambra complex as a precaution while specialists assessed the potential risks caused by the tremors. Other official buildings in Granada were also closed temporarily as emergency services and authorities inspected infrastructure for possible damage. The earthquake caused cracks, falling debris and other damage in some homes, while emergency services received more than 50 calls linked to the tremor and its effects. The latest earthquake came after several days of seismic activity in the province, with almost 150 tremors recorded, including an earthquake initially measured at magnitude 5. The regional government of Andalucía has kept its emergency plan activated as authorities continue to monitor the situation and assess the damage caused by the successive earthquakes. Officials have urged residents to remain calm and follow Civil Protection recommendations as further aftershocks remain possible.
