A magnitude 5 earthquake shook the southern Spanish city of Granada early Saturday, and the regional government said there was damage to homes and vehicles, but no injuries were reported.
The tremor occurred in the metropolitan area of Alhendín shortly after 1 in the morning.
The Spanish television network TVE showed debris strewn across the street and some damage to cars in this popular tourist town. Andalusian emergency services rescued several people from damaged buildings.
Antonio Sanzhead of emergencies for the autonomous community of Andalusia, said on Saturday that no damage had been done to the Alhambra, an important example of Andalusian Islamic architecture.
“There is no structural damage to tombs, no material damage to tombs, and there are no victims,” he said, adding that the Alhambra “has not been affected in any way.”
