King Felipe has just been confronted by angry crowds in Paiporta, a Valencian town largely affected by the floods, where angry protesters shouted "murderer".

One protester shouted "you have arrived four days late". Heavy rains that began on Monday caused floods that destroyed bridges and covered towns with mud, cutting off communities and leaving them without water, food or electricity.

As a reminder, at least 211 people were killed by floods that devastated parts of south-east Spain, with many more missing.

In video footage, the angry crowd can be seen confronting the king during his visit.

Chants of "murderer" can be heard, while others ask why he didn't come to the Valencia region sooner.

King's visit was 'a very bad decision', says Spanish politician

Juan Bordera, a member of the Valencian parliament, says King Felipe's visit to flood-struck Valencia was "a very bad decision".

Angry residents and volunteers welcomed the Spanish monarch with heckling and mud projectiles as he walked down the debris-filled streets.

More than 210 people have died in flash floods in the country, with dozens still missing.

Authorities “didn’t listen to any warnings,” Bordera tells the BBC, adding the response of the national government is “also questionable”.

“It’s logical that the people are angry, it’s logical that the people didn’t understand why this visit is so urgent,” he adds.

Mud thrown at King Felipe and Queen Letizia

During the visit to the Valencian town Paiporta, mud was thrown at both the king and queen of Spain.

Pictures taken at the scene show a number of people trying to prevent the mud from hitting the king with an umbrella, while another shows the queen with dried mud on her face.
