British woman dies after being caught in the sea at famous Canary Island caves

Three people seated beside the 32-year-old also found themselves in the sea, having been hit by the same wave at the Caves of Ajuy yesterday at approximately 8.30pm. The Ajuy caves are famous on the island and were declared a natural monument in 1987.As part of the Betancuria Rural Park, they are fully protected and said to be centuries old. Following the incident, an emergency response was put in place straight away.

The four people who found themselves caught in the horrendous incident had been staying in the same hotel in Corralego on Fuerteventura's north-east coast. The caves are visited by thousands of tourists every year and were the destination of an almost-tragedy on March 30, when a 23-year-old tourist was rescued by helicopter. The holidaymaker was discovered alive but they were experiencing hypothermia after being in the sea for an hour.
