Freezing winds, heavy snow and rain lashed parts of Spain Monday, killing two people, forcing the closure of schools and disrupting travel, officials said.

A 54-year-old homeless woman from Romania was found dead, apparently from hypothermia, on Monday morning at a park in Gandia on Spain’s eastern Mediterranean shore, a spokesman for Gandia city hall said.

A 63-year-old Spanish man was found dead on Sunday afternoon in the central village of Pedro Bernardo, the village’s mayor David Segovia said.
