The Victims

Initially, two men and one woman were confirmed dead; the ages of the victims included a 35-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman. Tragically, a fourth woman, although revived and airlifted to a hospital, succumbed to her injuries. As of now, it remains uncertain if any of the deceased were of German nationality.

Search Operations

Search teams worked tirelessly into the late evening, looking for the missing individual, but their efforts were met with adversity. The operation involved search and rescue personnel, a helicopter, and members of local fire services and police.

Warnings Ignored

Media reports suggest that some individuals managed to escape the water on their own. It's important to note that local authorities had previously issued warnings about dangerous waves on Sunday. The natural pools, often regarded as hidden gems by tourists, transform into perilous traps during rough conditions, with massive waves dragging people into the open sea and strong currents making a safe return nearly impossible. Just earlier in November, Tenerife faced a similar situation, resulting in multiple casualties.
