一场巨大的野火正逼近西班牙马贝拉城阳光海岸，当局已紧急疏散了数千人。

The huge fire now threatens many holiday homes on the Costa del Sol

Flames reached the Elviria area on the edge of Marbella early on Friday.

Overnight the fire spread rapidly through a 12km coastal² strip packed with holiday homes.

About 1,000 people have been evacuated from the edge of Marbella, about 3,300 from Ojen and others from a camp site at Alpujata, Spanish media report.

Two people have suffered serious burns and some homes have been engulfed³ by the fire.

A change in wind direction has given firefighters hope that the blaze can be contained soon.

More than 250 firefighters are battling the blaze, helped by 17 aircraft, Spain's El Pais news website says.

The fire started on Thursday afternoon in the Sierra Negra area of Coin, near Malaga.
