A flurry of activity on social networks, particularly Twitter and Facebook, indicating the presence of large sharks and the closure of some beaches in the Axarquia has been dismissed as a hoax by the Civil Protection.
The Civil Protection in Vélez-Málaga and Algarrobo have dismissed the claims as a hoax, stating that there is no cause for alarm and that no beaches have been closed either as a result of shark infestation or any other reason.
In addition, the company operating the eleven cleaning boats between Rincón de la Victoria and Nerja, Servimar, has said that it is unaware of any sightings or warnings about sharks in the area.
Maybe someone spotted Suarez going for a leisurely dip now that he has time on his hands.
