Police searching for a British man in a mountainous area of Majorca where a British woman was found dead earlier this week have found a body.
Both are believed to have been swept away in a flash flood.
Spain’s Civil Guard said both people were on a trail that leads through a small canyon to the sea when the storm hit the Mediterranean island on Tuesday.
Emergency services have been searching the area near the Torrent de Pareis canyon in the Tramuntana mountains since Wednesday, when the British woman’s body was found.
The man’s body was found on Friday, the Civil Guard told Reuters.
The dramatic gorge which leads to a hidden beach is often flooded from autumn until spring, and has no easy exits because of its sheer cliffs, according to a local tourism website.
