EL PAÍS returns to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in Catarroja, in Spain’s Valencia province, one month after the massive destruction caused by flash flooding. Things are still far from normal as residents grapple with unsanitary living conditions and the psychological effects of the historic disaster: ‘The emergency has stagnated in Catarroja, like the mud’

And the glimmer of hope for the future
