Pamela Smyth, who is from Muckamore in Co Antrim, has lived in the Spanish city for over 19 years with husband Gustavo. The pair moved to Spain to open an English language academy, which has been destroyed in the catastrophic flooding, which has left 208 people dead and thousands without running water and electricity.
