Overview

• A swimmer became stuck about 15 meters above sea level on the cliffs between Cala del Moraig and Cala de Testos after attempting an impossible rock crossing.
• Municipal lifeguards from the Cala del Moraig service spotted the stranded individual and alerted the Consorcio de Bomberos de Alicante’s Special Rescue Group.
• Officials determined that helicopter removal posed excessive turbulence risks that could endanger both the victim and air crews.
• Fire-rescue specialists set up rope systems at the coastal mirador, rappelled down the sheer rock face, and lowered the swimmer safely to the water.
• A municipal lifeguard jet ski retrieved the individual from the sea and transported him to shore unharmed, ending all further rescue actions.
