Watch: Huge lava blocks fall from Spain volcano | big as buildings in Spain | Volcanic Lava

Blocks of molten lava as large as three-storey buildings have rolled down a hillside on the Spanish island of La Palma while a series of tremors shook the ground three weeks after the volcanic eruption.

There were 21 seismic movements on Sunday (local time), with the largest measuring 3.8, the Spanish National Geological Institute said, shaking the ground in the villages of Mazo, Fuencaliente and El Paso.

The blocks of red-hot magma flowing down the side of the Cumbre Vieja volcano were the size of three-storey buildings, the Spanish Institute of Geology and Mining said on Sunday.

There was a partial cone collapse near the volcano’s emission vent on Saturday, said Stavros Meletlidis, a spokesman for ING.

“The collapse of the northern flank of the Cumbre Vieja volcano has caused the release of large blocks of material and the appearance of new flows that run through areas already evacuated,” tweeted Spain’s National Security Department.

Buildings near the volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma were engulfed by rivers of lava early on Saturday, with the drama of the red-hot eruption intensified by the spectacle of flashes of lightning.
The magma destroyed at least four buildings in the village of Callejon de la Gata, Reuters witnesses said.

There were a series of 37 seismic movements on Saturday, with the largest measuring 4.1, the Spanish National Geological Institute said.

Since the Cumbre Vieja volcano began erupting on Sept. 19 it has destroyed nearly 1,150 buildings and engulfed 480 hectares (1,190 acres) of land, the European Commission Copernicus Emergency Management Service tweeted on Saturday.
