At least 23 other people have been reported missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The woman was injured in the Los Gallardos wildfire in Almer\u00eda province and admitted to a local hospital.

She died Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fire has burned more than 3,200 hectares, or nearly 8,000 acres, around Los Gallardos and neighboring communities. Search teams have been looking for the missing while firefighters continue working to contain the blaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andalusian President Juanma Moreno said the fire appears to have started along a roadside when a broken cable ignited two separate spots. Strong winds then pushed the flames into the mountains, where the fire traveled about 15 kilometers, or 9 miles, in two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreno described the wildfire as a \u201cmajor tragedy\u201d and said some residents may not have followed the instructions they received, contributing to the high death toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udd34 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/IFLosGallardos?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IFLosGallardos<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Almer%C3%ADa?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Almer\u00eda<\/a>).
