A man's body has been found on a property in northern Tenerife. The discovery was made on a plot of land beside the TF-217 road, close to La Matanza de Acentejo.

Civil Guard officers from various units, including the Judicial Police, along with local police from La Matanza, have been sent to the scene. Local police are managing traffic in the area.
