Yes, I felt the first one and a second about 15 minutes later. Not very dramatic but the sofa I was sitting on moved noticeably. They weren't as strong as the last one, some time last year I think.

Yes, Yes ,Yes,
I felt the earth move last night here ,near Loja.

I was watching tv and it was a noticable ripple effect twice, but not enough for me to consider abandoning ship.

Last year several very small tremors.

Gordon

Welcome back Gordon!

We didn't notice it although obviously people not too far away felt it. We had a noticeable one last year, but I've read of quite a few regular ones happening around Spain since then.

Just had another earthquake. They seem to be getting more regular here. Already found it on the internet. It was in Granada again, magnitude 3.5 at a depth of 5kms.

From the volcanodiscovery.com website:
During the past 14 days, Malaga was shaken by 1 quake of magnitude 3.5 and 6 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0. There were also 32 quakes below magnitude 2.0 which people don't normally feel.
Biggest quake: 3.5 quake Granada, 212 km east of Sevilla, Andalusia, Spain, Jan 5, 2022 11:19 am (GMT +1) 21 minutes ago

Was that about 15/20 minutes ago, Wicksey? I felt a slight movement of the sofa I was sitting on, but my husband on the other side of the room felt nothing. I said I wondered if it was another earthquake. Most of the ones we've had before have been in the evenings or during the night.

Yep Freeatlast that was it. I've now put the details up in my post. There was a loud rumbling and all the windows shook. The previous one we had last year, my OH's chair really shook but the sofa I was sitting on didn't. The earthquakes I've experienced always are accompanied by a really loud rumbling like thunder or a heavy lorry passing by (we've had several of them in Greece and Los Angeles plus a few here ... beginning to get used to them now!)
