Despite its allure and charm, search teams looking for Oswaldtwistle teenager Jay Slater have labelled the area as 'dangerous'
Nestled in the mountainous region of north-west Tenerife, you'll find the picturesque village of Masca.
He reportedly left the holiday let the next morning and ventured alone into the mountains. Since then, there has been no sign or word from him, with intensive search efforts now entering their second week. On the fifth day of the search, the owner of the Airbnb rental told reporters Jay had asked about the bus schedule out of the village before she saw him 'walking off alone', uphill into the mountains. However, there are limited footpaths - just one well-paved road leads in and out of the area, winding around the massive peaks. While hikers and thrill-seekers do attempt to climb the mountains, they usually have experience.
The road, said to have been the route taken by the missing man, has concrete barriers along its length to prevent vehicles from veering off. Construction workers are also present at a nearby site, with temporary traffic lights currently in operation.
