Smoke, not closures
Emergencias 112 named Lucena del Puerto, Rociana del Condado and Almonte as places the smoke could reach on 5 August. Its advice was to shut doors and windows and to keep an eye on anyone with a chest condition.Whether the fire has been stabilised
INFOCA had not used that word about the Santa Catalina fire by the evening of 5 August. Estabilizado is the one to look for, and extinguido after it.The time of day
These fires have run in the late afternoon and evening, and this one grew when the south westerly picked up. A quiet morning says little about the same day's evening.Your own accommodation
Nothing here has been evacuated and no road has been reported closed, so ring your host and ask what they can actually see rather than cancelling on the strength of a smoke plume.Nearby alternatives to compare
