Spanish rescuers are focusing their search for missing people on underground garages and a multi-storey car park following last week's devastating floods in Valencia. The death toll after a year's worth of rain fell in parts of the region last week now stands at 217.

Barcelona will host the final race of the MotoGP season next week in place of flood-hit Valencia, organisers Dorna announced on Tuesday.

The flash flood-inducing rains that killed more than 210 people in Spain's Valencia region have moved north, snarling air and rail traffic in Barcelona.
