Valencia is grappling with the aftermath of the worst flood in a century, which devastated towns like Catarroja and Paiporta.

The disaster claimed 25 lives and left thousands of homes, businesses, and vehicles damaged.

Recovery has been slow, with many residents feeling abandoned as government aid is delayed by bureaucracy.

Despite the challenges, acts of solidarity have brought hope.

Chef José Andrés, dressed as Santa Claus, distributed toys to children in Paiporta, while volunteers delivered essential goods to affected families.

The Royal Family also visited to show support, but frustrations over the lack of progress remain high.

Many are determined to rebuild, aiming for a return to normalcy by 2025.
