U.S. tennis star Coco Gauff was joking about her avocado toast breakfast and bad night’s sleep when the lights went out.

It was just after midday and all across the Iberian peninsula the power was failing.

Buses and trains stopped; cash machines went dark; people were left trapped in unlit metro carriages and lifts.

Thousands of people were stranded on the Madrid -Barcelona high-speed railway line.

In some restaurants diners ate by candlelight. Back in Madrid , Pilar Lopez , a 53-year-old administrator, suggested the chaos provided a useful lesson. “I can’t even pay because my mobile isn’t working. Sometimes you have to be a bit more analogue: this proves it,” she told AFP . She added: “We’ve suffered a pandemic, I don’t think this is worse.”.
