Firefighters from Alicante recovered the body of a missing walker in the Vall de Laguart area on Saturday morning. The 38-year-old man, originally from Langreo, Asturias, but resident in Villajoyosa, had gone out walking a week ago, but kept in touch with his parents in Langreo, sending messages and even photos while trekking.
Two days later his parents alerted police of their son’s disappearance and a search was launched, including search and rescue dogs. The man’s car was found in a carpark near to the Barranco del Infierno, where his body was recovered from a well.
