The epicenter has taken place just a kilometer deep
An earthquake of four degrees on the Richter scale was noted this Friday afternoon in several municipalities in the Region. According to data from the National Geographic Institute (IGN), the epicenter of the earthquake took place in the Almeria town of Vélez Blanco at 2:26 p.m.
However, the superficiality of the tremor, whose origin was located just one kilometer deep, caused it to be felt in nearby towns, including Caravaca de la Cruz, Puerto Lumbreras, Lorca and Águilas.
