Enormous waves have been battering buildings on the north coast of Tenerife, the largest of the Canary Islands.

According to local reports, 39 people were evacuated from their homes but nobody was injured.

Footage uploaded to social media by Nelson Acosta shows the gigantic waves crashing into the side of a high-rise building, brushing away the railings from concrete balconies.
