LA PALMA (Reuters) -The airport on the Spanish island of La Palma reopened on Sunday although all flights were cancelled as the volcano spewed lava and emitted ash clouds over the surrounding area a week after it began erupting.

People used umbrellas to protect themselves from falling volcanic cash, while the airport's departures hall was quiet and boards showed only cancelled flights.
