A fire at 03:30 on Friday resulted in the destruction of the La Farola restaurant in avenida España, El Morche.
Residents in the block were evacuated as a precautionary measure. The reasons for the fire are as yet unknown. No-one was injured in the blaze but the damage to the restaurant is severe.
No time is a good time for a fire for the owners of such an establishment but the start of the summer season could hardly have been a worse time.
