One of the worst bombing attacks on civilian population in Alicante during the Spanish civil war.

It was heavily reported by witnesses that the planes dove low shooting at civilians randomly.

Valencia, Barcelona, Alicante, Granollers, and other Spanish town and cities were bombed.

The bombers dropped ninety bombs and many of them fell on the central market and surrounding streets of the city.

The bombings of Alicante and Granollers, and the attacks against British shipping provoked protests in London.
