A warning has been issued to people visiting Spain and Portugal this East weekend because of deadly weather.

Four people have died, including a British man, after falling into the sea in three incidents on Spain's Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, emergency services said.

The deaths came amid warnings of strong winds and widespread rain thanks to Storm Nelson across many parts of the country and warnings of high waves on Portugal's coast to the southwest.

Spanish police said a boy of Moroccan nationality and a German adult died on the Mediterranean coast near the eastern city of Tarragona. The German man went into the water trying to save the Moroccan youth and both perished, the Civil Guard said.

A man and a woman died after falling into the Atlantic Ocean on Spain’s northern coast, emergency services for the region of Asturias said. Spain's EFE news agency quoted local authorities as saying the man was of British nationality.
