A child has died as floods have hit a Spanish tourist hotspot, sparking travel disruption.
A weather warning for storms has been put in place as rain continues to fall in Catalonia.
Emergency services found a body in a river in the neighbourhood of Sant Pere in Barcelona.
He is believed to be a child aged 11 or 12 years old, according to local media.
Minister of the Interior for Catalonia, Núria Parlon, said the body was a minor and that a search was still underway to find an adult, believed to be the child's father.
The adverse weather has sparked travel disruption in the country.
This included several flight cancellations at Barcelona-El Prat Airport, local media reports.
Flights both departing and arriving to the airport continue to face disruption this morning.

The airport is the second largest in Spain and one of the busiest in Europe.
Flights bound for London Gatwick Airport are among those which are delayed at the airport today.
The flooding follows Spain's hottest summer since records began in 1961, with the country having experienced more than a month of heat waves.
The summer of 2025 was 2.1 degrees Celsius warmer than the 1991-2020 average and surpassed the previous warmest summer recorded in 2022 by 0.1 degrees, state weather agency AEMET said.

Nine of the 10 hottest summers in Spain have occurred in the 21st century, with more heat to come, AEMET spokesperson Ruben del Campo explained.
"These summers of 2022 and 2025 are a trailer - or spoiler - for what could happen in the middle of the century," del Campo said.
"One in every three days this summer we have been under a heatwave."
Mr Del Campo said Spain would need to adapt to hotter summers while continuing to contribute to the global effort to curb climate change by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases.
Spain experienced three heatwaves spanning 36 days during the summer.
A 16-day heatwave in August saw temperatures exceed 45C in the south of the country and was the most intense on record, according to AEMET.
Countries across the world are experiencing record-breaking heat in recent years as global warming accelerates.
The summer of 2024 was the northern hemisphere's warmest, while summer 2025 was Britain's hottest since records began in 1884.
