One theory is that the increased numbers of dopey flies could have come from North Africa.
Diario Sur reports today that the main topic of conversation in Nerja currently is the number of flies.

They are right, with local supermarkets running dry of fly spray and experts saying that even more flies are about to arrive from the North of Africa, attracted by the recent storms and warm temperatures.

The newspaper asks several insect experts as to whether the invasion could be linked to climate change, but their opinions are divided.
