Thousands of Spaniards have fled the town of Lorca after two earthquakes killed nine people and caused extensive damage.
Lorca, which has a population of about 90,000, was transformed into a ghost town with a steady stream of cars carrying residents fearful of aftershocks to nearby cities and towns.
Shops, restaurants and schools were closed and the sirens of police vehicles and ambulances filled the air while helicopters hovered overhead.
Tens of thousands of residents slept outside in makeshift camps or on the streets following the quakes on Wednesday night, choosing not to venture home amid fears of further tremors.
Only a few buildings were destroyed, but the quakes - with magnitudes of 4.4 and 5.2 - sent brick building facades and parts of terraces plunging into the streets and caused damage to hundreds of apartment buildings.
"The whole facade and the stairs of the apartment where I live are totally broken," said resident Tomas Hinojo. "The hardest things happened right where I live. Three of the victims killed are my neighbours."
Spanish experts said the second quake caused the most damage, and its power was more destructive than many quakes of similar magnitude because its epicentre was on the outskirts of Lorca and because it happened at the very shallow depth of about 0.6 miles below ground.
The dead included one child, three of those in hospital were in serious condition, and an additional 260 were treated for light injuries and shock immediately after the quakes, the regional government's health department said.
Lorca is now filled with cars crushed by rubble and buildings scarred with cracks as government teams of architects and surveyors fanned out throughout the city, inspecting buildings and painting them with colour codes.
Red means dangerous and uninhabitable buildings, yellow warns residents to take caution when entering and green is painted on safe structures.

Spain’s biggest earthquake in 57 years damaged a town and killed nine people, hours before European regulators met to set criteria for nuclear-plant safety tests ordered because of Japan’s quake-related atomic disaster.
Temblors measuring 4.4 and 5.2 yesterday injured 293 people, three seriously, the regional government said in a statement on its website. They were centered in Lorca in the Mediterranean coastal region of Murcia and caused a “large amount” of damage to property, the national government said.
