A 16-year-old boy has been found soaking wet and barefoot in an olive grove Cadiz.
The Austrian teenager was located by the Guardia Civil near Setenil de las Bodegas after he vanished on Tuesday.
The town is a hotspot for tourists and is famous for its homes built into rock.
The boy was reportedly covered in mud after disappearing during some of the worst of this week’s weather.
The missing person report came in around 2pm on Tuesday, January 27, at the Guardia Civil’s Central Operations Centre.
A search operation was immediately launched due to the incessant rainfall in the area, the approaching nightfall, and the low temperatures.
The Guardia Civil said patrols from the Public Safety Unit and the Mountain Rescue Unit (GREIM), based in Ubrique, participated in the operation.
During the search, the public was asked to help, with numerous local residents joining in the search for the missing boy.
Finally, hours later, a patrol located the boy in an olive grove next to the CA-9113 road.
He was covered in mud, wet, and barefoot, and disoriented, but in good health.
