00:01Spain is recovering from the massive power outage

00:04that left a large part of the country

00:06without electricity or internet connection.

00:09Traders and workers are trying to get back to normal.

00:12Let's see the details with our correspondent Andres Flores.

00:16Power outage left a large part of the country

00:19without electricity, telecommunications or internet.

00:23It forced thousands of people to walk for long hours

00:26to return to their homes.

00:30It affected me when it was time to go back

00:32because the train was not working.

00:35So I walked from Placa, Catalonia to Fabra and Puig, 45 minutes.

00:42And I found a group of people who were also going to my area

00:45where I live and from there to wait in line

00:49and everything to catch a bus, to catch another bus

00:51so that finally my family would come to pick me up in granolas.

00:55So all in all, it was about five hours traveling.

01:01The president of the Spanish government

01:04demanded responsibility from the private operators for the blackout

01:08and stressed that it can never happen again.

01:11Many workers were surprised by the outage at their workplaces,

01:15like Ignacio.

01:15We were on a construction site, and it caught us.

01:20The blackout meant that we had no more light,

01:23no electricity, no energy.

01:26Then, when I went outside,

01:28I saw that everything was the same.

01:31Everything had gone out, even the phones.

01:34Barcelona tries to recover normality.

01:38After this massive blackout,

01:39some shopkeepers have told us that they have had to throw away

01:42the products they had,

01:43and others are trying to calculate today what their losses have been.

01:46We met Andrew, a neighborhood merchant affected by the blackout.

01:50Andrew, like so many others, is trying to get back to normal today.

01:53It is a fruit and vegetables trade.

01:58We had a good start to the day yesterday.

02:00We just unloaded, and suddenly the power went out,

02:05which prevented us from weighing with the scales and so on.

02:09So we couldn't do much business.

02:12Andrew, like so many others, is trying to get back to normal today.

02:18Well, at the beginning, not many people came,

02:21but now all the people who came during the blackout have started to come,

02:24and, well, I guess today we are going to have to work extra.

02:27Today, everything is normal, yes, everything is very good.

02:33A judge of the national court will investigate a possible cyber attack,

02:38although the company Red Electrica rules it out.

02:41The reasons for the power outage remain to be clarified.
