The Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma erupted on September 19th, 2021 after a week of earthquakes, marking the first volcanic eruption in Spain in 50 years. The intensifying geological activity in recent years indicated an eruption was imminent. Two months after the eruption began, the volcano continues to spew lava, destroying parts of the island and forcing nearly 7,000 people to evacuate. The government recently announced that aid for homes and buildings destroyed by the eruption will not be taxed in an effort to help the affected residents.
