The American newspaper (Washington Post) said that a house on the Spanish island of "La Palma" miraculously escaped from the lava flowing volcano "Combre Vieja", which has turned a large part of the island into a barren scorched land since the volcano erupted last Sunday.

The newspaper pointed out that the pioneers of social networking sites called the house "miracle", whose picturesque white walls and orange roof emerged intact amid the massive destruction left by the volcano, whose lava is still flowing until now.

According to the BBC, the volcano has forced about 6,000 residents of the island - located in the Spanish Canary Islands - to leave their homes, and damaged more than 200 homes.

The lady who built the house

And the Spanish newspaper "El Mundo" quoted the woman who built the house - Ada Monicendam - that she was very happy to see the photos circulated by the pioneers of social networking sites for the house, which is still standing despite the devastation caused by the volcano.

On seeing him, she said, "I know that house, my husband and I built it."

She said she had contacted the owners of the house, a retired Danish couple in their 80s, who used to visit the island several times a year, but had not traveled there since the start of the Corona pandemic.

Tears of joy

The couple expressed their happiness that their home survived, and said amid tears of joy, "Although we can't go there now, we feel relieved that (the house) is still standing."

The Washington Post report indicated that the burning lava swept the area, washing away homes and swimming pools, and devouring the island's roads and green spaces.

She said there is a fear that the devastating effects of the volcano will worsen as the lava flow slows.

Officials said that the movement of lava from the volcano has decreased to about 12 feet per hour, which raises fears that it will stop moving completely and grow thicker, which will lead to more destruction on the island.

A picture of a house on the Spanish island of La Palma caught the eye on social media in recent days, because it was not affected by the massive lava.

A video clip taken by photographer Alfonso Escalero showed a picture of the house, which is surrounded by rivers of lava flowing from the Cumbre Vieja volcano, which erupted last Sunday.

She concluded, "It is ironic that one of the attractions that brought Inge and Runner to La Palma was the stunning volcanic landscape, a common obsession between them since they were young."

"They even considered retiring to a house in Hawaii also surrounded by volcanoes, but they chose the Canary Islands to be closer to their country of origin," she said.
