The woman is believed to be in her 20s and from the UK
A British woman has reportedly died after falling around 500ft in a popular rock climbing area near Malaga, southern Spain. The alarm was raised just after 7pm on Friday and her body was recovered by emergency services.
The incident occurred near the village of El Chorro, close to the renowned Caminito del Rey pathway, in an area known as the Swiss Sector next to the Arabic Staircase hiking area. It's understood that the pair had spent the day practicing sport and their accident occurred during their descent after mistakenly taking the wrong route, reports the Mirror.
The Civil Guard, who are investigating the incident, have not yet made any official comment but are expected to do so over the weekend. This incident marks the second in less than a month in the area involving a British climber. On December 11, a young man believed to be around 20 suffered a fall near the village of El Chorro, in an area known as Puente del Mono or Monkey Bridge.
