Valencia, Spain - A British woman and her daughter were killed after being carried away by flooding near Valencia in eastern Spain, officials said Friday.

The two women, aged 47 and 14, had been crossing a gully on foot in L'Olleria on Thursday evening. Their bodies were retrieved in the morning.

Rainwater inundated streets, tunnels and garages, and blocked roads and railway lines in the Valencia region. The ports of Valencia, Gandia and Sagunto were closed.

In southern Spain, stormy weather prompted the suspension of ferry links with the Moroccan port of Tangier and Spain's north African enclave of Ceuta.

A firefighter who had come to empty an inundated garage sustained burns from equipment, and another person was injured by a mudslide in Ceuta. (dpa)
