Another earthquake hit Andalusia on Sunday evening around 5.30 pm.
The magnitude 4.5 tremor was one of a continuing series of dozens of aftershocks in the wake of last Monday’s 6.3 quake.
It was followed by more than 20 tremors with magnitudes of 2 or more about the epicentre.
The epicentre was north of the Mediterranean island of Alborán and was felt in the province3s of Granada, Almeria and Jaén, according to the Spanish National Geographic Institute (IGN).
The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported that around 3.1 million people live in the areas where it was felt.
Those who felt the earthquake on Sunday reported hearing a rumbling and seeing furniture shaking. There was no reported damage.

It is pure stupidity to assume that an extraction pipe exists or can be designed, strong enough to keep intact thousands of metres below the seabed yet sufficiently flexible to allow these sideways shifts in the geology. What will they use - the new expandable bendy Garden Hose as sold in all good Garden Centres?
