At the Gulf of Leon (including Cataluña and the Islas Baleares) is a good area for waterspouts developing.............

I think that I have said it before, but it is strongly recommended to take a look to this Climatology of Tornadoes in the Iberian Peninsula, written by Miquel Gayà, Meteorologist, and one of the biggest experts on Severe Thunderstorms in Spain (and Europe):

In the other hand, we have published a photograph gallery of the tornado outbreak, with photos that some storm chasers from Baleares have sent to us:
