Not what you expect when sunbathing. Ángeles Navarta was stretched out on the beach in Lagos when she felt a bite on her arm and then saw a huge rat scurrying away. Large rodents are, apparently, not an uncommon sight along this stretch of coast.
A bit close…
Not at all sure whether this was animal (and if so, what species), mineral or vegetable, but it was very close to shore today at the promontory at the end of Torrecilla beach. It didn’t seem to bother the fish, though, hundreds of them swarming around.
Never really off duty
A Guardia Civil officer from Madrid, on holiday in Torremolinos, was instrumental in detaining an individual who was allegedly robbing bathers at the beach.
