Passengers stranded by Spain's blackout spend the night at Malaga station

Spain's major blackout on Monday caused disruption for thousands of passengers as all train services were cancelled. Malaga's María Zambrano was one of the stations to stay open all night to accommodate stranded passengers. The Cruz Roja provided camp beds and blankets.

Throughout Monday night police reinforcements were brought in in Malaga and towns along the Costa del Sol to continue to control traffic where lights remain inoperative and guarantee security.

While medium and long distance trains started running again, the Costa del Sol's Cercanías service was still not functioning early on Tuesday morning.

Malaga city's metro service was back in action on Tuesday morning.

Schools in Malaga province are open this Tuesday, although normal teaching will not take place.
