This agency, dependent on the Ministry of Transport, Mobility and Urban Agenda, has recalculated the data and, although it initially set its intensity at 3.3 and the epicenter in Alendín, it has modified it to 3.4 with an epicenter at 0 kilometers depth and in Ogíjares.

It is a tremor of shorter duration than the rest of the high intensity of the day but it has been felt by the population in about twenty municipalities of the province.
