The Socialists led by former health minister Illa won a majority of 42 seats, up from their 33 seats in 2021 when they also barely won the most votes but were unable to form a government. They will still need to earn the backing of other parties to put Illa in charge.(AP Photo/Emilio Morenatti)

Ash from the Cumbre Vieja volcano covers a house on La Palma, in Spain’s Canary Islands, Nov. 1, 2021. The ash is jettisoned thousands of meters into the sky; the heaviest, thickest particles eventually drift down, accumulating in banks that slowly cover doors, pour into windows, make rooftops sag. Some particles are so big that when they pummel a car roof or the fronds of a banana tree, it sounds like hail. (AP Photo / Emilio Morenatti)
