Costa del Sol Floods and storage in Manilva

Costa del Sol Floods and storage in Manilva

The Costa del Sol floods affected a number of Costa del Sol residents. As a result, you may have damaged property that needs to be re-housed.

Luckily, although Manilva and Duquesa were two of the worse places to be hit by the rain and flooding, uStore-it escaped with very little damage and all of our storage containers and the goods within them stayed dry and damage-free.

It must be something to do with the location, as we know of many people suffering damage to cars, storage, houses and terraces. Not to mention the trees across the roads and the deluge of water which ran like a torrent through the tunnel into Puerto Duquesa.

Friends in Mijas Costa also suffered a similar fate with some underground garages completely flooded up to the ceiling, resulting in massive damage to vehicles which were literally floating in the streets.

Fatalities during the Costa del Sol Floods

At least two fatalities were reported on the coast. Walls collapsed over roads, unable to take the strain of the water rushing down from the mountains. Golf courses were also flooded with the fencing around Mijas Golf ripped out of the ground by the weight of the water.

After living on the Coast for 21 years, the floods have never been this bad since 1989, and to think this was after just 48 hours of rain?

Storage in Manilva

If you are looking for somewhere secure, dry and accessible to move your storage into, please contact us as soon as possible. Situated in Manilva, uStore-it is within easy road access from the A7 and the E15 toll road.

We are also just a 15 minute drive from the border with Gibraltar, so if you are stuck for space on the Rock after last weekend’s deluge, we can help you re-store your goods with a minimum of fuss.

Storage during the Costa del Sol Floods

We have over 200 safe, dry and secure units of different sizes so you only pay for the space you use. We accept long-term and short-term storage and you are not tied into any long-term contract.

Our friendly and professional team will be happy to help you if you are not sure of the volume of storage you have or you need advice about bringing your goods into store. Feel free to come and look around.

By offering individual self-storage units, we will save you money on placing your goods in container storage which often charge by the actual container and not the m2. Why pay more than you have to?
