The lava coming out of the 'Cumbre Vieja' volcano, in El Paso (La Palma), has covered a total of 190.7 hectares since the eruption began this Sunday, September 19, destroying 420 buildings so far, in addition to 15.2 kilometers of roads, according to data from the European Union's Copernicus program satellite.
Thus, the lava already covers 10.6 hectares more than in the last update this Friday morning, while the buildings destroyed in its path have also grown by 30 properties.
The Copernicus program, coordinated through the National Emergency Monitoring and Coordination Center (CENEM), has devices for monitoring and tracking national alert networks, potential risk situations, incidents and emergencies in the field of civil protection.
The island's volcanic traffic light remains red, in an emergency situation, and the eruptive process continues with a new mouth that has opened this Friday afternoon and has forced the evacuation of the closest populated centers.
