It has become plainly obvious that the culprit(s) behind these deliberate fires on Salobreña Vega act when there is a forecast for strong winds.
The heavy rains and high winds at the end of March caused the death of a 4-year old in a Madrid park when a tree fell on him.
There was another fire on the Salobreña vega, Thursday the 20th which the fire service managed to bring under control and put out despite the blustery conditions.
Having just spent three days in the municipality of Otivar, it is now apparent how lucky locals were that on that night, last month, there were high winds.
