Watch: Supercell tornado sweeps through El Toro in Spain

Video has captured the moment a large tornado passed through Castellón in eastern Spain.

José Arenes, the mayor of a town in the region called El Toro told local media the tornado "surprised us all" but that it seemed there was "no major damage" caused.

Local weather agency MeteoStorms said it believed the tornado was caused by a supercell.

Supercells are intense thunderstorms which are characterised by a rotating updraft. They often cause tornados, in addition to hail and powerful winds.
