You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.164.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''1956 Atarfe-Albolote earthquake''' (((lang-es|link=no|Terremoto de Atarfe-Albolote de 1956))) was a magnitude 5.0 ((M|w|link=y)) earthquake that occurred at 18:38 CEST (17:38 [[Coordinated Universal Time|UTC]]) on April 19, 1956. The earthquake affected a wide area, and especially the area between Sierra Elvira and [[Granada]]. According to the press at the time, the towns of [[Atarfe]] and [[Albolote]] were ruined and [[Santa Fe, Granada|Santa Fe]], [[Maracena]] and some neighborhoods in the capital of Granada were badly affected. The earthquake registered an epicentral intensity of VIII, a magnitude of 5.0 and a hypocentral depth of 6.3&nbsp;km. Numerous aftershocks occurred, of which the most important were recorded between April 19 and May 8. Twelve people died and 60 were left injured. Among other effects, the earthquake caused rockfalls in Sierra Elvira and landslides along the Beiro River.<ref name=earthquake>((cite web|url=https://www.adurcal.com/enlaces/mancomunidad/guia/riesgosn/p1_b/terremoto_de_atarfealbolote.htm|title=El terremoto de Atarfe-Albolote (1956)|publisher=Dúrcal|access-date=5 January 2023))</ref>

== Geology ==

The province of Granada, is located in the morphostructural unit constituted by the Betic Cordilleras, they constitute a set of mountainous alignments, basically formed by the stacking of structures pushed by the [[Iberian plate|Iberian]] and [[African plate|African Plates]]. In the [[Granada Basin]], the areas that have suffered the most from the effects of earthquakes, with an intensity equal to or greater than VI, have been those of [[Alhama de Granada]] and the Santa Fe-Pinos Puente-Albolote triangle. In the case of the so-called [[Iznalloz]] fault, the maximum expected magnitude is 7; others may exceed magnitude 6.

During the 20th and 21st century, the most notable were: on June 16, 1910, in [[Adra, Spain|Adra]]; Los granadinos in 1911; on July 5, 1930, in [[Montilla]]; on March 5, 1932, in [[Vícar]]; those of the [[Province of Jaén (Spain)|province of Jaén]] of 1951 in [[Andújar]], [[Bailén]] and [[Linares, Jaén|Linares]]; on June 9, 1964, in [[Galera, Granada|Galera]] and [[Orce]]; the Adra earthquake swarm of 1993 and 1994; and on [[2011 Lorca earthquake|May 11, 2011]] in [[Lorca, Spain|Lorca]].<ref name=geology>((cite web|url=https://antonioaretxabala.blogspot.com/2012/01/atarfe-albolote-santa-fe-de-granada.html|title=ATARFE, ALBOLOTE, SANTA FE DE GRANADA (1956): LA RESILIENCIA POR EL CAMINO MOZÁRABE DE SANTIAGO|publisher=Antonio Aretzabala|date= 24 January 2012|access-date=5 January 2023))</ref>

== Earthquake ==
((unreferenced section|date=January 2023))
The earthquake began at 18:38 and spread panic especially in the area between Sierra Elvira and [[Granada]], alarming almost the entire province. The following day's press cited the towns of Atarfe and Albolote as ruined, and Santa Fe, Maracena and some neighborhoods of the capital badly affected. They asked the government for help. The human losses totaled 7 direct deaths and 5 due to a landslide next to the Beiro in Granada due to the collapse of a cave, located next to the path of the Casería de Montijo. As a consequence of the earthquake and the effects of the rain, a large crack was made in the hillside. On April 20 at 14:00, some 5,000 m³ of earth fell. A married couple with 3 children lived in the cave, they all died. In this same place in 1945 another landslide caused 4 deaths. In addition, there is talk of about 40 injured, several hundred homes destroyed, many others uninhabitable, serious breakdowns and material damage amounting to 20 million pesetas at the time. One of the wounded died on April 25. These damages were increased by the numerous aftershocks that followed for several weeks. The epicenter was located between Albolote and Atarfe, an area that lacks settlements and crops, so the damage was not increased.

Within a radius of 10&nbsp;km around, it reached grade VII, which covers the capital and some twenty towns in La Vega. It had a shallow focal depth of 6,3&nbsp;km.

The violent earthquake lasted about four seconds, causing cracks and detachment of plaster at the joints of the walls and windows, falling objects, stopped watches, etc. In Albolote the walls suffered more, cracks in church columns, rockfall in Sierra Elvira, rupture and fall of chimneys, cornices, movement of trees, general underground noise noticed in quite remote towns. Strange phenomena is described by the population as a current of air, fire and stones coming from the Cañada called Tajo Colorado that seemed to come out of the Raja Santa although a Group of Speleologists from Granada denied it in the press. The earthquake that occurred on June 4, 1955, affected Atarfe and caused material damage. Some people say that they saw a glow of a reddish-yellowish globe in the early hours of the morning.

The most important aftershocks were recorded between April 19 and May 8. In some days several more or less strong shocks occurred, registering 116 important aftershocks.
