Emergency services in southern Tenerife are searching for a 72-year-old man who went missing on July 26. According to the Civil Guard, the search is focused on an area stretching from Alcalá and Piedra Hincada to the coastline between Punta Blanca and the Hotel Abama.
Searching for elderly individuals in these types of environments is difficult, and a quick response is essential to protect them from the elements. The Civil Guard is asking for the public's help to narrow down the search area and urges anyone with information to call 062.
When he went missing, the man was wearing khaki or military-green shorts, a black short-sleeved t-shirt with a circular green emblem, and black clog-style shoes. Search teams are working to cover the entire area, though the rugged terrain and proximity to the coast are making the operation challenging.
