Horrible experience with @Ryanair - on the way there flight was disrupted by a drunk stag do of around 20 and on the way back flight was cancelled - not offered any way to rebook or an alternative, only dropped at a hotel in the middle of nowhere and told us we were on our own!

Just had a massive nationwide power cut here in #Spain, with reports saying the same across Portugal. 4G hasn't been working either. Metro, train stations and some businesses closed, and traffic lights not working. Power is now back on in #Barcelona, but not everywhere.
