A wave at the end of the street in Santander, northern Spain.
The large low pressure system that crippled Northern America recently is now bringing strong winds and massive waves to Spain's Atlantic coastline as dramatic video footage shows.

Spain's weather agency AEMET has declared a 'yellow alert' for the country's Atlantic coastlines with heavy winds and huge swells expected to continue throughout Tuesday.

The low pressure system is now over the Atlantic ocean with the strongest winds in Spain being experienced in the northern region of Galicia.

The heavy weather has already claimed the life of one man - a 50-year-old who was visiting the coast with the ashes of his recently deceased father. Two other members of his family are still missing.

This dramatic video, meanwhile, shows a wave coming down a street in the northern Spanish city of Santander on Monday.


Meanwhile, in this video of waves crashing into the Galician coast, it is clear that the excitement was all too much for one group of onlookers.
