Spain: Satellite Monitoring & Event Situation
Track recent event signals and monitor Spain from space — geolocated events, the most active areas, and satellite imagery in one place. Free to browse on the Delta Watchfloor.
Quick answer — what Off-Nadir Delta is
You can monitor Spain from space on Off-Nadir Delta — viewing Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 optical imagery, tracking any area over time with anomaly detection, and overlaying geolocated event signals (from global news media) and active fires. In the past 7 days, 19 event signals were recorded in Spain, most in the protest category.

Why Analysts Watch Spain From Space
Spain’s recent emergencies cover floods, fire and lava: the 29 October 2024 floods in the Valencia region, the August 2025 wildfires in Ourense province, and the 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption on La Palma. Each was imaged from orbit by Copernicus or NASA, and each leaves a footprint that can be compared before and after.
Typical monitoring angles
- Flood extent around Valencia compared on pre/post Sentinel-1 SAR scenes, as after the October 2024 floods (Copernicus EMS EMSR773)
- Burn scars in Ourense province measured with Sentinel-2 change detection and NASA FIRMS hotspots, as in August 2025 (Copernicus EMS EMSR837)
- Change in the lava field on La Palma’s western flank since the 2021 Cumbre Vieja eruption, in Sentinel-2 optical time series
