ANOTHER blackout has hit Spain just days after a massive nationwide power cut hit the country.

The new blackout has struck a holiday hotspot in the Canary Islands.

Tens of thousands are thought to have lost power

Up to 30,000 users across several towns and cities on La Palma island lost electricity today, according to the local council.

Towns including Los Llanos de Aridane, Breña Alta, Santa Cruz de La Palma, and Fuencaliente, began losing power at 9.47am local time.

The origin of the blackout is not yet known, but officials have pointed to a possible problem at the Los Guinchos power station.

Power returned two hours later at 11.34am, according to local media.

The island was not affected by the massive blackout that hit most of Spain and Portugal on April 28.

Airports and hospitals were forced to close, and trains came to an abrupt stop across the Iberian Peninsula. Officials attributed this disruption to a “rare atmospheric phenomenon,” which led to the widespread power outage.

Traffic chaos ensued on the roads of Spain, Portugal, and parts of France as lights and signals failed, leaving emergency personnel to manage the resulting mayhem.

Hundreds of passengers were also left trapped on trains.

In Madrid, emergency teams conducted 286 rescues to release individuals stuck in elevators, while in Portugal, commuters had to escape from darkened subway tunnels.

La Palma is the Canary Islands’ fifth largest island and is known for its fresh produce and exports nearly all of Spain’s bananas every year, alongside sweet mangos, avocados and papayas.
