A British man has gone missing in Spain and the search has been ongoing since Thursday. It is believed that he had an argument with his wife, which led to her reporting him missing at 11:10 am. The regional emergency coordination center has stated that the man, who is 48 years old, was last seen arguing with his wife in the province of León.
The police have expressed concern for the man's safety, as he was reported to have left his wife in a garage after their argument. He then proceeded to abandon his vehicle and personal belongings. The emergency services in Castile and León have discovered his car in the town of Las Salas, but it was empty.
The search for this missing individual has been extensive, involving helicopters, drones, and a mountain rescue team. It has been reported that the Civil Guard's Greim unit, who were previously involved in the search for a British teenager last month, are also participating in this operation. In addition, a helicopter, a drone, and a sniffer dog have been deployed to assist in the search in León.
The man's wife has shared that her husband is an avid mountaineer and had been practicing the sport during their stay in the region. The search has mainly focused on the banks of the Esla River and the area surrounding the village of Las Salas, where the man's vehicle was found. A command post has been established in Las Salas, and the emergency coordination center is also located there. It has been reported that the missing man's personal effects, including climbing equipment and documents, were found in this mountain village.
The nationality of the man's wife has not been disclosed, and it is unclear whether they live in Spain or were visiting the country. Sources have described their concerns as "maximum" due to the man's behavior before his disappearance. This incident comes only a month after a British hiker was found dead in the Spanish Pyrenees mountains.
Meanwhile, the search for 17-year-old Jay, who went missing last month, is still ongoing. However, it has been reported that the mountain rescue experts have been asked to step down from this operation. The search for the missing British man in León remains a top priority for the mountain rescue team and other emergency services.
