La Palma's airport reopens but no flights as volcano still erupting
The Peninsula
LA PALMA - The airport on the Spanish island of La Palma reopened on Sunday although all flights were cancelled as the volcano spewed lava and emitted ash clouds over the surrounding area a week after it began erupting.
People used umbrellas to protect themselves from falling volcanic cash, while the airport's departures hall was quiet and boards showed only cancelled flights.
"They laugh at us because of the umbrella but if we don't use it we end up covered in ash," said engineer Waldo Nasco.
