Train passengers were left fearful as they travelled past burning wildfires on Monday in Spain.

The train was travelling from Madrid to Ferrol as it passed burning forests in the northwestern Zamora province.

A passenger on board the train, Francisco Seoane, filmed the fires through and later tweeted that passengers experienced "moments of panic" as the train stopped by the flames.

After a few minutes the train continued on its journey.

More than 30 forest fires around Spain have forced the evacuation of thousands of people and blackened 220 square kilometers (85 square miles) of forest and scrub.
