A missing German tourist has been found in a semi-conscious state in a difficult to access rocky area at Les Platgetes beach in Moraira.

The 55-year-old left her holiday home without any documentation or mobile phone at around 1pm to spend the day at the beach, but two hours later, none of her relatives had seen or heard from her and when they realised she had no ID or means of getting touch, they alerted lifguards.

The lifeguard service then contacted Teulada Moraira Local Police and Guardia Civil and a search operation was activated at 3pm.

Two hours later, the woman was found "having passed out" in a rocky area between Les Platgetes and L'Andragó beaches.

She was eventually evacuated from the area by two police teams before being taken to Teulada Health Centre and is making a full recovery.

"We would like to thank our emergency services for their great work. Thanks to their professionalism and efficiency, lives are saved on a daily basis and, in this case, a tragedy has been avoided. In Teulada Moraira we have great security and protection services by land, sea and air," assured Teulada Moraira Council.
